[PATCH 5.7 032/265] net: phylink: fix ethtool -A with attached PHYs

[Sasha Levin]

From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit c718af2d00a37587b09e5958d142da7569f3d55b ]

Fix a phylink's ethtool set_pauseparam support deadlock caused by phylib
interacting with phylink: we must not hold the state lock while calling
phylib functions that may call into phylink_phy_change().

Fixes: f904f15ea9b5 ("net: phylink: allow ethtool -A to change flow control advertisement")
