Subject: [PATCH] ethtool: Pause frame reporting fixes

Hello. Our software needs to modify pause parameters dynamically.
For this to work reliably the SUPPORTED_Pause and SUPPORTED_Asym_Pause
flags need to be set correctly by the driver. As it turns out, some drivers
leave them at zero even though they implement pause frames.
This patch adds reporting for these flags to ethtool.
For some reason the current code reports ADVERTISED_Pause
but not SUPPORTED_Pause. Also there was a small bug
in the reporting for ADVERTISED_Pause.
