  To: netdev; +Cc: Ionut Nicu

Prevent unloading mii bus driver module when other modules have references to some
phydevs on that bus. Added a new member (module owner) to struct mii_bus and added
code to increment the mii bus owner module usage count on phy_connect and decrement
it on phy_disconnect

Set the module owner in the ucc_geth_mdio driver.
