net: phylib: get rid of unnecessary locking

The locking in phy_probe() and phy_remove() does very little to prevent
any races with e.g. phy_attach_direct(), but instead causes lockdep ABBA
warnings. Remove it.

======================================================
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
6.2.0-dirty #1108 Tainted: G        W   E
------------------------------------------------------
ip/415 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff5c268f81ef50 (&dev->lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: phy_attach_direct+0x17c/0x3a0 [libphy]

but task is already holding lock:
ffffaef6496cb518 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x154/0x560

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

                               lock(rtnl_mutex);
  lock(&dev->lock);
