Subject: [PATCH] net: stmicro: stmac: do not grab a mutex in irq off section

I captured this:

|stmmac: Energy-Efficient Ethernet initialized

stmmac_eee_init() is called in other places without this lock.
phy_print_status() is just a printk() and the if condition is not
protected by the lock so I moved the unlock part just before that.
