From: Mohsin Bashir <hmohsin@meta.com>

pause_setup() saves the initial link settings before tests run. Devices
that report link settings but do not support changing them can reject even
a no-op restore with EOPNOTSUPP. That turns pause tests that use
pause_setup() into cleanup failures.

Fix this by queuing link-setting restores only after a link-setting
request has succeeded. Keep pause_test_support coverage for devices that
cannot change link settings by falling back to forced MAC pause on the
current link. Run the extra link autoneg on/off checks only when those
link setting requests are accepted. Tests that force link autoneg off,
including pause_autoneg_link_autoneg(), now queue their own autoneg-on
restore after the force request succeeds.

Results on fbnic:

  Before: # Totals: pass:0 fail:4 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:24 error:0
  After:  # Totals: pass:4 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:24 error:0

Changelog:
v3:
- Drop the remaining unconditional autoneg-on restore from pause_setup()
  and only queue link-setting restores after a link-setting request succeeds.
- Since pause_setup() no longer restores autoneg on, make pause_test_support()
  and pause_autoneg_link_autoneg() queue their own autoneg-on restores after
  they successfully force the link.
