Using ethtool to silence *all* link warnings is still a manual
operation, in my opinion not acceptable so let's remove this message.

The r8169 constantly resets the device when no link is connected,
contrary the r8168 vendor driver which only resets the link when some
PCI config fields have been modified. As the current reset logic in r8168
seems to work for broken device (which I do not have have and therefore
cannot test), I did not attempt to "clean this up".
