Rework link state tracking and remove superfluous link UP/DOWN
messages.
 o Add check for actually resolved speed in miibus_statchg callback
   instead of blindly reprogramming BCE_EMAC_MODE register.  The
   callback may be called multiple times(e.g. link UP, link
   transition, auto-negotiate complete etc) while auto-negotiation
   is in progress.  All unresolved link state changes are ignored
   now and setting BCE_EMAC_MODE after link establishment is done
   once.
 o bce(4) is careful enough not to drive MII_TICK if driver got a
   valid link.  To detect lost link, bce(4) relied on link state
   change interrupt and if driver see the interrupt, it forced to
   drive MII_TICK by calling bce_tick() in interrupt handler.
   Because bce(4) generates multiple link state change interrupts
   while auto-negotiation is in progress, bce_tick() would be
   called multiple times and this resulted in generating multiple
   link UP/DOWN messages.
   With this change, bce_tick() is not called in interrupt handler
   anymore such that miibus_statchg callback handles link state
   changes with consistent manner.
