[net-2.6 PATCH 6/6] e1000e: remove unnecessary 82577 workaround causing link issues

[Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>]

From: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@intel.com>

A workaround for pre-release versions of 82577 is causing link issues on
some switches.  The workaround is no longer needed on production parts so
remove it.
