Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] PCI: Revert to the original speed after PCIe failed
 link retraining

When `pcie_failed_link_retrain' has failed to retrain the link by hand 
it leaves the link speed restricted to 2.5GT/s, which will then affect 
any device that has been plugged in later on, which may not suffer from 
the problem that caused the speed restriction to have been attempted.  
Consequently such a downstream device will suffer from an unnecessary 
communication throughput limitation and therefore performance loss.

Remove the speed restriction then and revert the Link Control 2 register 
to its original state if link retraining with the speed restriction in 
place has failed.  Retrain the link again afterwards to remove any 
residual state, ignoring the result as it's supposed to fail anyway.
