When debugging an issue I found implausible values in state->pause.
Reason in that state->pause isn't initialized and later only single
bits are changed. Also the struct itself isn't initialized in
phylink_resolve(). So better initialize state->pause.

v2:
- use right function name in subject

mac_link_state() is expected to always set this, but this is safer.

Maybe also set state->speed to SPEED_UNKNOWN, state->duplex to
DUPLEX_UNKNOWN and state->an_complete to zero?

I've seen cases where mac_link_state() just initializes the relevant
bits. Therefore there's no functional problem, but it's not nice
(and disturbs in debug output) if all other bits have a random value.

OK. Will include this in a v3.
