I don't understand the rationale for this patch:
set_link does not fail or time out asynchronously, and the caller
immediately knows whether set_link succeeded or failed. So I think this
command is not strictly necessary as implied by the commit description,
but it is useful if the QMP client wishes to query the current link
status.

Please add a query-link-status command. All QMP commands that fetch
data are called query-*.
