Enable or disable ASPM should be done in PCI core instead of in the device driver. Commit ba04c7c93bbc ("r8169: disable ASPM") uses pci_disable_link_state() to disable ASPM, but it's not the best way to do it. If the device really wants to disable ASPM, we can use a quirk in PCI core to prevent the PCI core from setting ASPM before probe. Let's remove pci_disable_link_state() for now. Use PCI core quirks if any regression happens.
