[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH net v4 0/2] i40e: Fix for link-flapping

[Arkadiusz Kubalewski <arkadiusz.kubalewski@intel.com>]

VF queues were not brought up when PF was brought up after being downed
if the VF driver disabled VFs queues during PF down. This could happen
in some older or external VF driver implementations.
The problem was that PF driver used vf->queues_enabled as a condition
to decide what link-state it would send out which caused the issue.
Remove the check for vf->queues_enabled in the VF link notify. Now VF
will always be notified of the current link status. Also remove
the queues_enabled member from i40e_vf structure as it is not used
anymore. Also refactor repeated link state reporting code into a
separate helper function i40e_set_vf_link_state().
Otherwise VNF implementation was broken and caused a link flap.

Fixes: 2ad1274fa35a ("i40e: don't report link up for a VF who hasn't enabled")

v2: improve commit message
v3: net tree target
v4: split into 2 patches
