phy_init() and phy_exit() will have to do more stuff under rtnl_lock() in a future change. Since rtnl_unlock() -> netdev_run_todo() does a lot of stuff under the hood, it's a pity to lock and unlock the rtnetlink mutex twice in a row. Change the calling convention such that the only caller of ethtool_set_ethtool_phy_ops(), phy_device.c, provides a context where the rtnl_mutex is already acquired.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
