Subject: [net-next v2 07/14] i40e: Fix comment for ethtool diagnostic link test

From: Greg Rose <gregory.v.rose@...el.com>

The existing comment is incorrect.  Add new comment to point out that the
PF reset does not affect link but if the reset is changed to a different
type that does affect link then the link test would need to be moved to
before the reset.
