smsc9420: prevent BUG() if ethtool is called with interface down
[ Upstream commit 6c53b1b15e222244358d3cbbefd2a13920faa352 ]
This patch fixes a null pointer dereference BUG() if ethtool is used on
an smsc9420 interface while it is down, because the phy_dev is only
allocated while the interface is up.
