ixgbe: Add work around for empty SFP+ cage crosstalk

Browse source

It is possible on some systems that crosstalk could lead to link flap
on empty SFP+ cages.  A new NVM bit was defined to let SW know it
needs to implement the work around which consists of verifying that
there is a module in the cage before acting on the LSC.
