Subject: [net-next 2/9] i40e: Properly check allowed advertisement capabilities

From: Jan Sokolowski <jan.sokolowski@...el.com>

The i40e_set_link_ksettings and i40e_get_link_ksettings use different
codepaths to check available and supported advertisement modes. This
creates scenarios where it's possible to set a mode that's not allowed,
resulting in a link down.

Fix setting advertisement in i40e_set_link_ksettings by calling
i40e_get_link_ksettings to check what modes are allowed.
