gve: Cache link_speed value from device
The link speed is never changed for the uptime of a VM, and the current implementation sends an admin queue command for each call. Admin queue command invocations have nontrivial overhead (e.g., VM exits), which can be disruptive to users if triggered frequently. Our telemetry data shows that there are VMs that make frequent calls to this admin queue command. Caching the result of the original admin queue command would eliminate the need to send multiple admin queue commands on subsequent calls to retrieve link speed.
