This patch is a partial reverse of:

  ixgbe: ethtool ixgbe_diag_test cleanup

Specifically forcing the laser before the link check can lead to
inconsistent results because it does not guarantee that the link will be
negotiated correctly. Such is the case when dual speed SFP+ module is
connected to a gigabit link partner.
