ethtool: check device is present when getting link settings
[ Upstream commit a699781c79ecf6cfe67fb00a0331b4088c7c8466 ]
A sysfs reader can race with a device reset or removal, attempting to
read device state when the device is not actually present. eg:

crash> struct net_device.state ffff9a9d21336000
state = 5,
state 5 is __LINK_STATE_START (0b1) and __LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER (0b100).
The device is not present, note lack of __LINK_STATE_PRESENT (0b10).
This is the same sort of panic as observed in commit 4224cfd7fb65
("net-sysfs: add check for netdevice being present to speed_show").
There are many other callers of __ethtool_get_link_ksettings() which
don't have a device presence check.
Move this check into ethtool to protect all callers.
Fixes: d519e17e2d01 ("net: export device speed and duplex via sysfs")
Fixes: 4224cfd7fb65 ("net-sysfs: add check for netdevice being present to speed_show")
