i40e: fix bug in return from get_link_status and avoid spurious link messages Previously, the driver could call this function and have only true/false returned, but false could mean multiple things like failure to read or link was down. This change allows the caller to get all return values in the call chain bubbled back to the source, which keeps information about failures from being lost. Also, in some unlikely scenarios, the firmware can become slow to respond to admin queue (AQ) queries for link state. Should the AQ time out, the driver can detect the state and avoid a link change when there may have been none.
