This series contains fixes to e1000e only. Benjamin Poirier provides two fixes, first reverts commits that changed what happens to the link status when there is an error. These commits were to resolve a race condition, but in the process of fixing the race condition, they changed the behavior when an error occurred. Second fix resolves a race condition by not setting "get_link_status" to false after checking the link.
