net: phy: Fix lack of reference count on PHY driver

[ Upstream commit cafe8df8 ]

There is currently no reference count being held on the PHY driver,
which makes it possible to remove the PHY driver module while the PHY
state machine is running and polling the PHY. This could cause crashes
similar to this one to show up:

Keep references on the PHY driver module right before we are going to
utilize it in phy_attach_direct(), and conversely when we don't use it
anymore in phy_detach().
