Subject: [PATCH] ethtool: Report speed and duplex as unknown when device is runtime suspended

Device like igb gets runtime suspended when there's no link partner. We
can't get correct speed under that state:
$ cat /sys/class/net/enp3s0/speed
1000

In addition to that, an error can also be spotted in dmesg:
[ 385.991957] igb 0000:03:00.0 enp3s0: PCIe link lost

Since device can only be runtime suspended when there's no link partner,
we can directly report the speed and duplex as unknown.

I would push this to the responsibility of the various drivers instead
of making this part of the standard ethtool implementation.

My original approach [1] is to ask device to runtime resume before calling __ethtool_get_link_ksettings().
Unfortunately it will cause a deadlock if the runtime resume routine wants to hold rtnl_lock.

However, it should be totally fine (and sometimes necessary) to be able to hold rtnl_lock in runtime resume routine as Alexander explained [2].
As suggested, this patch handles the situation directly in __ethtool_get_link_ksettings().
