net: phy: add phy_detach_internal() helper

Browse source

For the upcoming MDIO bus notification enhancements the PHY detach path
needs to inform the bus about these actions. Until now phy_detach() is
used for the regular detach path as well as from the phy_attach_direct()
error paths So in the future there must be a clear indication if a
notification is needed (normal path) or not (cleanup path).

Carve out the phy_detach() code into a new helper phy_detach_internal()
and make phy_detach() a short stub that calls the new helper.
