igc: disable L1.2 PCI-E link substate to avoid performance issue

[ Upstream commit 0325143b59c6c6d79987afc57d2456e7a20d13b7 ]

I226 devices advertise support for the PCI-E link L1.2 substate. However,
due to a hardware limitation, the exit latency from this low-power state
is longer than the packet buffer can tolerate under high traffic
conditions. This can lead to packet loss and degraded performance.

To mitigate this, disable the L1.2 substate. The increased power draw
between L1.1 and L1.2 is insignificant.
