ixgbe: Cleanup unneeded delay in ethtool test
There is a 4 seconds delay in ixgbe_diag_test() that is holding up other ioctls such as SIOCGIFCONF that Oracle database applications use. One of Oracle's product runs "ethtool -t ethX online" periodically for system monitoring and that is impacting database applications that use SIOCGIFCONF at that same time. This 4 second delay was needed in out early 1GbE parts to give the PHY time to recover from a reset. This code was carried forward to the 10 GbE driver even it was not needed for the supported PHYs in the ixgbe driver.
