Well, the test is really intended to ensure both sides of the link see
changes to the link status. If the driver is somehow buggy and the link
never goes down/up when requested there's little I can do here except
block forever. Unless we want to add a timeout to the link_event file
(which I'd rather not).

You'd have the same issue if, when bringing the link up for the first
time, the link does not come back.
