Revert "e1000e: Separate signaling for link check/link up"

commit 3016e0a0c91246e55418825ba9aae271be267522 upstream.

This reverts commit 19110cfbb34d4af0cdfe14cd243f3b09dc95b013.
This reverts commit 4110e02eb45ea447ec6f5459c9934de0a273fb91.
This reverts commit d3604515c9eda464a92e8e67aae82dfe07fe3c98.

Commit 19110cfbb34d ("e1000e: Separate signaling for link check/link up")
changed what happens to the link status when there is an error which
happens after "get_link_status = false" in the copper check_for_link
callbacks. Previously, such an error would be ignored and the link
considered up. After that commit, any error implies that the link is down.

Revert commit 19110cfbb34d ("e1000e: Separate signaling for link check/link
up") and its followups. After reverting, the race condition described in
the log of commit 19110cfbb34d is reintroduced. It may still be triggered
by LSC events but this should keep the link down in case the link is
electrically unstable, as discussed. The race may no longer be
triggered by RXO events because commit 4aea7a5c5e94 ("e1000e: Avoid
receiver overrun interrupt bursts") restored reading icr in the Other
handler.
