Subject: [PATCH] net: phy: micrel: KSZ9031: fix crash when statistic requested

Now the command:
	ethtool --phy-statistics eth0
will cause system crash with meassage "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer
dereference at virtual address 00000010" from:

 (kszphy_get_stats) from [<c069f1d8>] (ethtool_get_phy_stats+0xd8/0x210)
 (ethtool_get_phy_stats) from [<c06a0738>] (dev_ethtool+0x5b8/0x228c)
 (dev_ethtool) from [<c06b5484>] (dev_ioctl+0x3fc/0x964)
 (dev_ioctl) from [<c0679f7c>] (sock_ioctl+0x170/0x2c0)
 (sock_ioctl) from [<c02419d4>] (do_vfs_ioctl+0xa8/0x95c)
 (do_vfs_ioctl) from [<c02422c4>] (SyS_ioctl+0x3c/0x64)
 (SyS_ioctl) from [<c0107d60>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x44)

The reason: phy_driver structure for KSZ9031 phy has no .probe() callback
defined. As result, struct phy_device *phydev->priv pointer will not be
initializes (null).

Fix it by adding additional checks for !phydev->priv in
kszphy_get_stats(), kszphy_get_strings() and kszphy_get_sset_count()
