If we announce ASPM support when CONFIG_PCIEASPM=n it'll work as well
but negotiation and the log don't match the fact. We'll get misleading
messages that ASPM is supported by OS by it cannot be enable as there's
no driver.

As mentioned by the PCIe Firmware Spec r3.3,
"ASPM Optionality supported
The operating system sets this bit to 1 if it properly recognizes
and manages ASPM support on PCI Express components which report
support for ASPM L1 only in the ASPM Support field within the Link
Capabilities Register. Otherwise, the operating system sets this
bit to 0"

When CONFIG_PCIEASPM=n we have no aspm driver and apparently cannot
support any ASPM features so we should set the bit to 0 to match the spec.
