This updates the network drivers so that they don't access the
ethtool_cmd::speed field directly, but use ethtoo_cmd_speed() instead.
For most drivers, these changes are purely cosmetic and don't
fix any problem, such as for those 1GbE/10GbE drivers that indirectly
call their own ethtool get_settings()/mii_ethtool_gset(). The changes
are meant to enforce code consistency and provide robustness with
future larger throughputs, at the expense of a few CPU cycles for each
ethtool operation.
All the drivers compiled with make allyesconfig ion x86_64 have been
updated.
Tested: make allyesconfig on x86_64 + e1000e/bnx2x work
