Subject: [net-next 12/14] ixgbevf: Make sure link status and speed are fetched

From: Greg Rose <gregory.v.rose@...el.com>

A recent change makes it necessary to set get_link_status to ensure that
the driver fetches the correct, refreshed value for link status and speed
when it has changed in the physical function device.
