If device is runtime-suspended and not accessible then it may be flagged as not present. If checking whether device is present is done too early then we may bail out before we have the chance to runtime-resume the device. Therefore move this check to ethnl_ops_begin(). This is in preparation of a follow-up patch that tries to runtime-resume the device before executing ethtool ops.
