[PATCH] net/ice: make link state configurable on device stop

[Ciara Loftus <ciara.loftus@intel.com>]

Introduce the boolean restore_link_state devarg for the ice driver. When
set, when the ice port is stopped, the physical link will be restored to
the state it was in when the device was started.

Prior to this patch the default behaviour was to always restore the link
to its original state. The new default behaiour is to always bring the
link down, which is in keeping with most other drivers.
