Subject: [PATCH 2/2] alx: add disable_wol paramenter

The WoL feature was reported broken and will lead to
the system resume immediately after suspending.
This symptom is not happening on every system, so adding
disable_wol option and disable WoL by default to prevent the issue from
happening again.
