[PATCH net] net: phy: fix phy_uses_state_machine()

["Russell King (Oracle)" <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk>]

The blamed commit changed the conditions which phylib uses to stop
and start the state machine in the suspend and resume paths, and
while improving it, has caused two issues.

The original code used this test:

	phydev->attached_dev && phydev->adjust_link

and if true, the paths would handle the PHY state machine. This test
evaluates true for normal drivers that are using phylib directly
while the PHY is attached to the network device, but false in all
other cases, which include the following cases:

- when the PHY has never been attached to a network device.
- when the PHY has been detached from a network device (as phy_detach()
   sets phydev->attached_dev to NULL, phy_disconnect() calls
   phy_detach() and additionally sets phydev->adjust_link NULL.)
- when phylink is using the driver (as phydev->adjust_link is NULL.)

Only the third case was incorrect, and the blamed commit attempted to
fix this by changing this test to (simplified for brevity, see
phy_uses_state_machine()):

	phydev->phy_link_change == phy_link_change ?
		phydev->attached_dev && phydev->adjust_link : true

However, this also incorrectly evaluates true in the first two cases.

Fix the first case by ensuring that phy_uses_state_machine() returns
false when phydev->phy_link_change is NULL.

Fix the second case by ensuring that phydev->phy_link_change is set to
NULL when phy_detach() is called.
