Alexander Sverdlin 105d29fa8d net: dsa: lan9303: consequently nested-lock physical MDIO

commit 5a22fbcc10f3f7d94c5d88afbbffa240a3677057 upstream.

When LAN9303 is MDIO-connected two callchains exist into
mdio->bus->write():

1. switch ports 1&2 ("physical" PHYs):

virtual (switch-internal) MDIO bus (lan9303_switch_ops->phy_{read|write})->
  lan9303_mdio_phy_{read|write} -> mdiobus_{read|write}_nested

2. LAN9303 virtual PHY:

virtual MDIO bus (lan9303_phy_{read|write}) ->
  lan9303_virt_phy_reg_{read|write} -> regmap -> lan9303_mdio_{read|write}

If the latter functions just take
mutex_lock(&sw_dev->device->bus->mdio_lock) it triggers a LOCKDEP
false-positive splat. It's false-positive because the first
mdio_lock in the second callchain above belongs to virtual MDIO bus, the
second mdio_lock belongs to physical MDIO bus.

Consequent annotation in lan9303_mdio_{read|write} as nested lock
(similar to lan9303_mdio_phy_{read|write}, it's the same physical MDIO bus)
prevents the following splat:
