[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 17.11 2/2] net/ixgbe: stop link setup alarm handler before device start

[Ilya Maximets]

[ backported from upstream commit 916193dda6fb400114c0ffc5615e74ca13d50720 ]

We should stop alarm handler before resetting the HW to
avoid concurrent device reconfiguration.

Fixes: 0408f47ba4d6 ("net/ixgbe: fix busy polling while fiber link update")
