[net-next RFC PATCH 1/2] net: mdio: implement mdio_mutex_nested guard() variant

[Christian Marangi]

Implement mdio_mutex_nested guard() variant.

guard() compes from the cleanup.h API that define handy class to
define the lifecycle of a critical section.

Many driver makes use of the mutex_lock_nested()/mutex_unlock() hence it
might be sensible to provide a variant of the generic guard(mutex),
guard(mdio_mutex_nested) to also support drivers that use
mutex_lock_nested with MDIO_MUTEX_NESTED.
