[PATCH v1 1/2] net/e1000: better clock synchronization workaround

From: Vitaly Lifshits <vitaly.lifshits at intel.com>

There was a workaround for clock synchronization issue already in place,
however this workaround has a high power penalty. Fix the issue by
reconfiguring the k1 exit timeout, thereby avoiding the side effect of high
power draw.

Fixes: 90f456cea0c2 ("net/e1000/base: correct clock synchronization")
