[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] net/virtio: fix read isr as MSI is enabled

We should not always check isr to know if link status is changed.

Here is how driver should handle interrupt quoted from virtio spec,

    If MSI-X capability is disabled:
      – Read the ISR Status field, which will reset it to zero.
      – If the lower bit is set: look through the used rings of all
      virtqueues for the device, to see if any progress has been made
      by the device which requires servicing.
      – If the second lower bit is set: re-examine the configuration
      space to see what changed.
    If MSI-X capability is enabled:
      – Look through the used rings of all virtqueues mapped to that
      MSI-X vector for the device, to see if any progress has been
      made by the device which requires servicing.
      – If the MSI-X vector is equal to config_msix_vector, re-examine
      the configuration space to see what changed
