net: phy: avoid kernel warning dump when stopping an errored PHY
When taking a network interface down (or removing a SFP module) after the PHY has encountered an error, phy_stop() complains incorrectly that it was called from HALTED state. The reason this is incorrect is that the network driver will have called phy_start() when the interface was brought up, and the fact that the PHY has a problem bears no relationship to the administrative state of the interface. Taking the interface administratively down (which calls phy_stop()) is always the right thing to do after a successful phy_start() call, whether or not the PHY has encountered an error.
