    ethtool: netlink: do not return SQI value if link is down
    
    [ Upstream commit c184cf94e73b04ff7048d045f5413899bc664788 ]
    
    Do not attach SQI value if link is down. "SQI values are only valid if
    link-up condition is present" per OpenAlliance specification of
    100Base-T1 Interoperability Test suite [1]. The same rule would apply
    for other link types.
