Subject: [PATCH 3.18 50/67] e1000e: Fix error path in link detection

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Benjamin Poirier <bpoirier@...e.com>

commit c4c40e51f9c32c6dd8adf606624c930a1c4d9bbb upstream.

In case of error from e1e_rphy(), the loop will exit early and "success"
will be set to true erroneously.
