[net-next PATCH] e1000e: remove workaround for e1000 hardware

[net-next PATCH] e1000e: remove workaround for e1000 hardware

[Jeff Kirsher]

From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com>

During the move of support for PCIe devices from e1000 to e1000e, this workaround necessary only for older non-PCIe devices was mistakenly copied into e1000e.  Remove it.
