net: phy: fix PHY_RUNNING in phy_state_machine

Shaohui Xie · davem330 · commit 11e122cbe90e · 2015-08-17T12:18:09.000-07:00
Currently, if phy state is PHY_RUNNING, we always register a CHANGE
when phy works in polling or interrupt ignored, this will make the
adjust_link being called even the phy link did Not changed.

checking the phy link to make sure the link did changed before we
register a CHANGE, if link did not changed, we do nothing.
