usbnet: make usbnet_get_link() fall back to ethtool_op_get_link()
Make usbnet_get_link() fall back to ethtool_op_get_link() instead of defaulting to 1. This makes usbnet_get_link return valid results without the need for a driver specific check_connect or mii ops as long as the driver calls netif_carrier_{on,off}() as appropriate. cdc_ether is an example of such a driver.
