Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/3] dpaa2-eth: do not hold rtnl_lock on phylink_create() or _destroy()

The rtnl_lock should not be held when calling phylink_create() or
phylink_destroy() since it leads to the deadlock listed below:

[   18.656576]  rtnl_lock+0x18/0x20
[   18.659798]  sfp_bus_add_upstream+0x28/0x90
[   18.663974]  phylink_create+0x2cc/0x828
[   18.667803]  dpaa2_mac_connect+0x14c/0x2a8
[   18.671890]  dpaa2_eth_connect_mac+0x94/0xd8

Fix this by moving the _lock() and _unlock() calls just outside of
phylink_of_phy_connect() and phylink_disconnect_phy().
