Subject: [PATCH] net: phylink: fix ethtool -A with attached PHYs
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")
