Subject: [PATCH net] net: phy: mscc: fix deadlock in phy_ethtool_{get,set}_wol()

Since the blamed commit, phy_ethtool_get_wol() and phy_ethtool_set_wol()
acquire phydev->lock, but the mscc phy driver implementations,
vsc85xx_wol_get() and vsc85xx_wol_set(), acquire the same lock as well,
resulting in a deadlock.

$ ip link set swp3 down
============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5 swp3: Link is Down
--------------------------------------------
ip/375 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff3d7e82e987a8 (&dev->lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: vsc85xx_wol_get+0x2c/0xf4

but task is already holding lock:
ffff3d7e82e987a8 (&dev->lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: phy_ethtool_get_wol+0x3c/0x6c

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(&dev->lock);
  lock(&dev->lock);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation

2 locks held by ip/375:
 #0: ffffd43b2a955788 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x144/0x58c
 #1: ffff3d7e82e987a8 (&dev->lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: phy_ethtool_get_wol+0x3c/0x6c

Call trace:
 __mutex_lock+0x98/0x454

 rtnl_newlink+0x50/0x7c

Removing the mutex_lock(&phydev->lock) calls from the driver restores
the functionality.
