phy: add proper phy struct device refcounting 

Take a refcount on the phy struct device when the phy device is attached
to a network device, and drop it after it's detached.  This ensures that
a refcount is held on the phy device while the device is being used by
a network device, thereby preventing the phy_device from being
unexpectedly kfree()'d by phy_device_release().
