Subject: net/mlx4_core: Don't issue PCIe speed/width checks for
 VFs

From: Eyal Perry <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 83d3459a5928f18c9344683e31bc2a7c3c25562a ]

Carrying out PCI speed/width checks through pcie_get_minimum_link()
on VFs yield wrong results, so remove them.

Fixes: b912b2f ('net/mlx4_core: Warn if device doesn't have enough PCI 
bandwidth')
