mlx5_link_update uses the newer ethtool command
ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS to determine interface capabilities but falls
back to the older (deprecated) ETHTOOL_GSET command if the new
method fails for any reason.
The older method only supports reporting of capabilities up to 40G.
However, mlx5_link_update_unlocked_gs can return a failure for a
number of reasons (including the link being down).
Using the older method in cases of transient failure of the method
can result in reporting of reduced capabilities to the application.
The older method (mlx5_link_update_unlocked_gset) should only be
invoked if the newer method returns EOPNOTSUPP.
