ixgbe: fix panic due to uninitialised pointer

Browse Source 
Systems containing an 82599EB and running a backported driver from
upstream were panicing on boot.  It turns out hw->mac.ops.setup_sfp is
only set for 82599, so one should check to be sure that pointer is set
before continuing in ixgbe_sfp_config_module_task.  I verified by
inspection that the upstream driver has the same issue and also added a
check before the call in ixgbe_sfp_link_config.
