From: Francesco Dolcini <francesco.dolcini@toradex.com>

commit 91a7cda1f4b8bdf770000a3b60640576dafe0cec upstream.

This fixes the following error caused by a race condition between
phydev->adjust_link() and a MDIO transaction in the phy interrupt
handler. The issue was reproduced with the ethernet FEC driver and a
micrel KSZ9031 phy.

With the FEC driver phydev->adjust_link() calls fec_enet_adjust_link()
calls fec_stop()/fec_restart() and both these function reset and
temporary disable the FEC disrupting any MII transaction that
could be happening at the same time.

fec_enet_adjust_link() and phy_read() can be running at the same time
when we have one additional interrupt before the phy_state_machine() is
able to terminate.

Thread 1 (phylib WQ) | Thread 2 (phy interrupt)
|
| phy_interrupt() <-- PHY IRQ
| handle_interrupt()
| phy_read()
| phy_trigger_machine()
| --> schedule phylib WQ
|
|
phy_state_machine() |
phy_check_link_status() |
phy_link_change() |
phydev->adjust_link() |
fec_enet_adjust_link() |
--> FEC reset | phy_interrupt() <-- PHY IRQ
| phy_read()
|

Fix this by acquiring the phydev lock in phy_interrupt().
