This change simplifies some of the quiescer responsibilities in
favor of making the link check whether or not it has a clean state
to be able to send or receive an stfu. This change was made on the
basis that the only use the quiescer makes of this information is
to assess that it is or is not zero. Further the difficulty of
checking this condition in the link is barely more burdensome than
selecting the proper information to pass to the quiescer anyway.
