Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ethtool: Call begin() and complete() in __ethtool_get_link_ksettings()

Device like igb gets runtime suspended when there's no link partner. We
can't get correct speed under that state:
$ cat /sys/class/net/enp3s0/speed
1000

In addition to that, an error can also be spotted in dmesg:
[  385.991957] igb 0000:03:00.0 enp3s0: PCIe link lost

It's because the igb device doesn't get runtime resumed before calling
get_link_ksettings().

So let's call begin() and complete() like what dev_ethtool() does, to
runtime resume/suspend or power up/down the device properly.

Once this fix is in place, igb can show the speed correctly without link
partner:
$ cat /sys/class/net/enp3s0/speed
-1
