Commit Message

When the netdev link flags are changed, !NETDEV_UP, the DPDK ports are not
actually going down. This is causing problems for people trying to bring
down a bond member. The bond link is no longer being used to receive or
transmit traffic, however, the other end keeps sending data as the link
remains up.

With OVS 2.6 the link was brought down, and this was changed with commit
3b1fb0779. In this commit, it's explicitly mentioned that the link down/up
DPDK APIs are not called as not all PMD devices support it.

However, this patch does call the appropriate DPDK APIs and ignoring
errors due to the PMD not supporting it. PMDs not supporting this should
be fixed in DPDK upstream.

I verified this patch is working correctly using the
ovs-appctl netdev-dpdk/set-admin-state <port> {up|down} and
ovs-ofctl mod-port <bridge> <port> {up|down} commands on a XL710
and 82599ES.

Fixes: 3b1fb0779b87 ("netdev-dpdk: Don't call rte_dev_stop() in update_flags().")

---
* V4:
  - Use netdev_get_name() instead of dev->up.name directly

* V3:
  - Update log message and changed the level to INFO

* V2:
  - Only call link state change function if the upstate changed
  - Restore original flags on error
  - Log a message when the NIC does not support the link state API

The netdev_dpdk_set_admin_state__() ignores the return value so we
won't know if the there is a problem or not.
Maybe worth to fix the caller or add a msg here too?
