Subject: [PATCH RFC net-next 4/7] net: phy: move phy_suspend() to end of
 phy_state_machine()

Move the call to phy_suspend() to the end of phy_state_machine() after
we release the lock so that we can combine the locked areas.
phy_suspend() can not be called while holding phydev->lock as it has
caused deadlocks in the past.
