phylib: fix premature freeing of struct mii_bus
Commit 46abc021 ("phylib: give mdio buses a device tree presence") added a call to device_unregister() in a situation where the caller did not intend for the device to be freed yet, but apart from just unregistering the device from the system, device_unregister() does an additional put_device() that is intended to free it. The right function to use in this situation is device_del(), which unregisters the device from the system like device_unregister() does, but without dropping the reference count an additional time.
