Subject: [PATCH 1/2] r8169: Don't disable ASPM in the driver

Enable or disable ASPM should be done in PCI core instead of in the
device driver.

Commit ba04c7c93bbc ("r8169: disable ASPM") uses
pci_disable_link_state() to disable ASPM. This is incorrect, if the
device really needs to disable ASPM, we should use a quirk in PCI core
to prevent the PCI core from setting ASPM altogether.

Let's remove pci_disable_link_state() for now. Use PCI core quirks if
any regression happens.

v2:
- Remove module parameter.
- Remove pci_disable_link_state().
