[TG3]: Fix the polarity bit.
For most pre-5705 devices, multiple link interrupts were being generated for a single physical link change. The source of the interrupts was determined to be unnecessary toggling of the MAC link polarity bit. This patch changes the way the link polarity bit gets configured. Where possible, code that dynamically configures the bit in response to link changes has been replaced by code that configures the bit once during initialization time and then leaves the bit alone. For correctness, this patch also limits the use of the bit to those devices where it is defined, namely devices before the 5705. This patch also corrects the link polarity configurations for 5700 devices when paired against a bcm5411 phy.
