kernel/wr_nic/endpoint.c: don't run the timer

In the switch we used to have a timer to check for link status, but in the SPEC card the internal lm32 does that, and access to the phy is not atomic. Assume the link is always on until we'll get notification from lm32 to the host. Signed-off-by: Alessandro Rubini <rubini@gnudd.com>
