[Intel-wired-lan] [next PATCH S12 11/15] i40e: Fix multiple link up messages

[Catherine Sullivan]

From: Matt Jared <matthew.a.jared at intel.com>

This patch addresses an issue where multiple link up messages can be logged
resulting from aq link status timing when link properties are changed (fc,
speed, etc.); solved by using a single function to handle status printing
and adding a mechanism to track whether link state (up or down) has
actually changed.
