PHY read/write functions can potentially sleep (e.g., a PHY accessed
via I2C).  The following changes were made to account for this:

    * Change spin locks to mutex locks
    * Add a BUG_ON() to phy_read() phy_write() to warn against
      calling them from an interrupt context.
    * Use work queue for PHY state machine handling since
      it can potentially sleep
    * Change phydev lock from spinlock to mutex
