[PATCH] igc: Do not use link uninitialized in igc_check_for_copper_link

From: Nathan Chancellor

Clang warns:

drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igc/igc_mac.c:374:6: warning: variable 'link'
is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true
[-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
if (!mac->get_link_status) {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igc/igc_mac.c:374:2: note: remove the 'if' if

bool link;

1 warning generated.

It is not wrong, link is only uninitialized after this through
igc_phy_has_link. Presumably, if we skip the majority of this function
when get_link_status is false, we should skip calling igc_set_ltr_i225
as well. Just directly return 0 in this case, rather than bothering with
adding another label or initializing link in the if statement.
