The IS_ENABLED here seems a bit wasteful to me - we have empty implementation
under qed_vf.h just for this case [I.e., that SRIOV isn't enabled for qed].
If all we're trying achieve is removing these gcc warnings, I think we can simply
memset the structs in the currently-empty qed_vf_get_link_* functions.
