[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix link speed info when link is down

When the link is down, the link speed returned by ethtool is
UINT32_MAX and the link status is 0.

In this case, the DPDK ethdev link speed should be set to
ETH_SPEED_NUM_NONE.
Otherwise since link speed is non-zero but link status is zero, this
is an inconsistent situation and -EAGAIN is returned, which is not right.
