igc: Expose tx-usecs coalesce setting to user

When users attempt to obtain the coalesce setting using the
ethtool command, current code always returns 0 for tx-usecs.
This is because I225/6 always uses a queue pair setting, hence
tx_coalesce_usecs does not return a value during the
igc_ethtool_get_coalesce() callback process. The pair queue
condition checking in igc_ethtool_get_coalesce() is removed by
this patch so that the user gets information of the value of tx-usecs.

Even if i225/6 is using queue pair setting, there is no harm in
notifying the user of the tx-usecs. The implementation of the current
code may have previously been a copy of the legacy code i210.
Since I225 has the queue pair setting enabled, tx-usecs will always adhere
to the user-set rx-usecs value. An error message will appear when the user
attempts to set the tx-usecs value for the input parameters because,
by default, they should only set the rx-usecs value.

This patch also adds the helper function to get the
previous rx coalesce value similar to tx coalesce.

How to test:
User can get the coalesce value using ethtool command.

Example command:
Get: ethtool -c <interface>

Previous output:

rx-usecs: 3
rx-frames: n/a
rx-usecs-irq: n/a
rx-frames-irq: n/a

tx-usecs: 0
tx-frames: n/a
tx-usecs-irq: n/a
tx-frames-irq: n/a

New output:

rx-usecs: 3
rx-frames: n/a
rx-usecs-irq: n/a
rx-frames-irq: n/a

tx-usecs: 3
tx-frames: n/a
tx-usecs-irq: n/a
tx-frames-irq: n/a
