You explain why the patch is done this way but you don't explain
why it is needed/useful.

You're (partly) reverting the change below without any sensible
explanation.

You should elaborate which problem you are trying to address.

Btw I can't help thinking that the style is terrible and the
whole stuff ought to stay in rtl8169_check_link_status.

    r8169: Fix runtime power management
    
    I noticed that one of the post-2.6.36 patches broke runtime PM of the
    r8169 on my MSI Wind test machine in such a way that the link was not
    brought up after reconnecting the network cable.
    
    In the process of debugging the issue I realized that we only should
    invoke the runtime PM functions in rtl8169_check_link_status() when
    link change is reported and if we do so, the problem goes away.
    Moreover, this allows rtl8169_runtime_idle() to be simplified quite
    a bit.
