The pcie_link_speed[] array is indexed by PCIe generation numbers
(1 = 2.5 GT/s, 2 = 5 GT/s, ...).  Several drivers use it directly,
which can lead to out-of-bounds accesses if an invalid generation
number is used.

Introduce a helper function pcie_get_link_speed() that returns the
corresponding enum pci_bus_speed value for a given generation number,
or PCI_SPEED_UNKNOWN if the generation is out of range.  This will
allow us to safely handle invalid values after the range check is
removed from of_pci_get_max_link_speed().
