net/mlx5e: Do not use non-EXT link modes in EXT mode

On some old Firmwares, connector type value was not supported, and value
read from FW was 0. For those, driver used link mode in order to set
connector type in link_ksetting.

After FW exposed the connector type, driver translated the value to ethtool
definitions. However, as 0 is a valid value, before returning PORT_OTHER,
driver run the check of link mode in order to maintain backward
compatibility.

Cited patch added support to EXT mode.  With both features (connector type
and EXT link modes) ,if connector_type read from FW is 0 and EXT mode is
set, driver mistakenly compare EXT link modes to non-EXT link mode.
Fixed that by skipping this comparison if we are in EXT mode, as connector
type value is valid in this scenario.
