sfp: hold the rtnetlink lock while calling phylink

Hold the rtnetlink lock while causing phylink to prevent changes to
the networking configuration.  This will allow us to eliminate the
configuration locking in phylink, and thus simplify the locking
strategy.

This will also allow phylink to attach the phy directly to the net
device, so allowing a reduction in veneer code.
