Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] r8169: don't activate ASPM in chip if OS can't
 control ASPM

Certain chip version / board combinations have massive problems if
ASPM is active. If BIOS enables ASPM and doesn't let OS control it,
then we may have a problem with the current code. Therefore check the
return code of pci_disable_link_state() and don't enable ASPM in the
network chip if OS can't control ASPM.
