[ Upstream commit 4e7dc08e57c95673d2edaba8983c3de4dd1f65f5 ]
When autoneg is off, the .check_for_link callback functions clear the get_link_status flag and systematically return a "pseudo-error". This means that the link is not detected as up until the next execution of the e1000_watchdog_task() 2 seconds later.
