Subject: [PATCH] phylink: Use common error handling code in phylink_create()

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>

* Add a jump target so that a bit of exception handling can be better
  reused at the end of this function.

* Adjust three condition checks.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
