Crap, I clearly missed this patch, John, please revert this.
We cannot do this because otherwise operations you attempt to do one one
PHY will race with re-creating of the same phy index. For the same
reason, interface indexes aren't reused for netdevs.
If this bothers you so much, you can easily write a udev rule that
renames all your phys to "myphy" or whatever.
