[PATCH] net/ixgbe: fix VF link status for E610

[Sandeep Penigalapati <sandeep.penigalapati@intel.com>]

E610 VFs report a wrong link speed (e.g. 10G while the PF is at 1G)
because the speed is decoded from the VFLINKS register, which E610 does
not use for VF link state.

Commit adbd71030575 ("net/ixgbe/base: fix link status for E610") added a
mailbox operation to fetch the link state from the PF and bumped the VF
mailbox API to 1.6, but the PMD never used it: ixgbevf_negotiate_api()
caps the API at 1.3 and ixgbevf_check_link() reads VFLINKS instead of the
base helper.

Negotiate the mailbox API up to 1.6 and query the PF for the link state
on E610 VFs. Other MAC types are unchanged.
