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

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.
