The kernel doc comments for struct ethtool_link_settings includes
documentation for three fields that were never present there, leading to
these docs-build warnings:
./include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h:2207: warning: Excess struct member 'supported' description in 'ethtool_link_settings'
./include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h:2207: warning: Excess struct member 'advertising' description in 'ethtool_link_settings'
./include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h:2207: warning: Excess struct member 'lp_advertising' description in 'ethtool_link_settings'
Remove the entries to make the warnings go away. There was some
information there on how data in >link_mode_masks is formatted; move that
to the body of the comment to preserve it.
