[PATCH 2/2] e1000e: Fix link check race condition

[Benjamin Poirier]

Alex reported the following race condition:

/* link goes up... interrupt... schedule watchdog */
\ e1000_watchdog_task
	\ e1000e_has_link
		\ hw->mac.ops.check_for_link() === e1000e_check_for_copper_link
			\ e1000e_phy_has_link_generic(..., &link)
				link = true

					 /* link goes down... interrupt */
					 \ e1000_msix_other
						 hw->mac.get_link_status = true

			/* link is up */
			mac->get_link_status = false

		link_active = true
		/* link_active is true, wrongly, and stays so because
		 * get_link_status is false */

Avoid this problem by making sure that we don't set get_link_status = false
after having checked the link.

It seems this problem has been present since the introduction of e1000e.
