[ Upstream commit 151f0dddbbfe4c35c9c5b64873115aafd436af9d ]
If link is down and autoneg is set to on/off, the status in ethtool does
not change.
The reason is when the link is down the function returns with zero
before changing autoneg value.
Move the checking of link state (up/down) to be performed after setting
autoneg value, in order to be sure that autoneg will change in any case.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
