From: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel at 6wind.com>

INT_MAX needs limits.h in userland.
When ethtool.h is included by a userland app, we got the following error:

.../usr/include/linux/ethtool.h: In function 'ethtool_validate_speed':
.../usr/include/linux/ethtool.h:1471:18: error: 'INT_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function)
  return speed <= INT_MAX || speed == SPEED_UNKNOWN
                  ^
Fixes: 72f843bdbdca ("ethtool: make validate_speed accept all speeds between 0 and INT_MAX")
