bnxt_re: Remove RTNL lock dependency in bnxt_re_query_port

When there is a NETDEV_UNREGISTER event, bnxt_re driver calls
ib_unregister_device() (RTNL lock held).
ib_unregister_device attempts to flush a worker queue scheduled by
ib_core and that queue might have a pending ib_query_port().
ib_query_port in turn calls bnxt_re_query_port(), which while querying the
link speed using ib_get_eth_speed(), tries to acquire the rtnl_lock() which
was already held by NETDEV_UNREGISTER.
Fixing the issue by removing the link speed query from bnxt_re_query_port()
Now the speed is queried post a successful ib_register_device or whenever
there is a NETDEV_CHANGE event.
