[PATCH net-next v2 15/17] net: stmmac: remove unnecessary EEE handling in stmmac_release()

phylink_stop() will cause phylink to call the mac_link_down() operation
before phylink_stop() returns. As mac_link_down() will call
stmmac_eee_init(false), this will set both priv->eee_active and
priv->eee_enabled to be false, deleting the eee_ctrl_timer if
priv->eee_enabled was previously set.

As stmmac_release() calls phylink_stop() before checking whether
priv->eee_enabled is true, this is a condition that can never be
satisfied, and thus the code within this if() block will never be
executed. Remove it.
