[Mellanox] Provide dummy implementation for get_rx_los and get_tx_fau…

…lt (#12231)

- Why I did it
get_rx_los and get_tx_fault is not supported via the exisitng interface used, need provide dummy implementation for them.
NOTE: in later releases we will get them back via different interface.

- How I did it
Return False * lane_num for get_rx_los and get_tx_fault

- How to verify it
Added unit test
