net: macb: Poll for link state changes when using the internal PCS.

Browse source

When used with an offboard transceiver (e.g. an SFP), link state needs
to be measured at the PCS rather than an onboard PHY. Poll the link
state when the PCS is active to allow the kernel to detect link state
changes in this case.
