net: phy: fix duplex out of sync problem while changing settings
As reported by Zhang there's a small issue if in forced mode the duplex mode changes with the link staying up [0]. In this case the MAC isn't notified about the change. The proposed patch relies on the phylib state machine and ignores the fact that there are drivers that uses phylib but not the phylib state machine. So let's don't change the behavior for such drivers and fix it w/o re-adding state PHY_FORCING for the case that phylib state machine is used.
