[v6] ethdev: fix strict aliasing lead to link cannot be up
Checks
Commit Message
Fix a problem introduced by a compiler upgrade (from gcc10 to gcc12.3),
which will lead the hns3 NIC can't link up. The root cause is strict
aliasing violation in rte_eth_linkstatus_set() with hns3 driver, see
[1] for more details.
This commit use union to avoid such aliasing violation.
Note: DPDK CI report compiler error (see [2] for more details):
../drivers/net/cxgbe/cxgbe_ethdev.c:214:9: error: missing braces around
initializer [-Werror=missing-braces]
struct rte_eth_link new_link = { 0 };
The same error with qos_sched example:
../examples/qos_sched/init.c:338:10: error: missing braces around
initializer [-Werror=missing-braces]
struct rte_eth_link link = {0};
So this commit replace { 0 } with memset in cxgbe and qos_sched.

v6: fix DPDK CI compiler error with qos_sched.
v5: fix DPDK CI compiler error due to GCC extension [-Werror=pedantic]
v4: fix DPDK CI compiler error with cxgbe.
v3: fix checkpatch warning "missing --in-reply-to".
v2: add RTE_ATOMIC(uint64_t) wrap which address Morten's comment.

rte_eth_linkstatus_get() may be called by rte_eth_link_get():
https://elixir.bootlin.com/dpdk/v24.03/source/lib/ethdev/rte_ethdev.c#L2986
The application may call rte_eth_link_get() with the "link" parameter pointing to memory shared by other threads.
So link->val64 must be stored atomically:
rte_atomic_store_explicit(&link->val64,
rte_atomic_load_explicit(&dev->data->dev_link.val64,
rte_memory_order_seq_cst),
rte_memory_order_seq_cst);
With the above modification,
