[PATCH net-next 3/5] net: stmmac: avoid PHY speed change when configuring MTU

There is no need to do the speed-down, speed-up dance when changing
the MTU as there is little power saving that can be gained from such
a brief interval between these, and the autonegotiation they cause
takes much longer.
Move the calls to phylink_speed_up() and phylink_speed_down() into
stmmac_open() and stmmac_release() respectively, reducing the work
done in the __-variants of these functions.
