ethtool: Support arbitrary speeds
The speed and speed_hi fields of struct ethtool_cmd together represent
a value in units of Mbit/s. The valid speed settings are hardware-
dependent and should be checked by the driver. Remove our validation
and allow arbitrary positive values. Continue to report 0 and -1 as
"Unknown!" since some drivers will report these invalid values when
the link is down.
