[PATCH net-next] net: stmmac: fix stmmac_simple_pm_ops build errors

The kernel test robot reports that various drivers have an undefined
reference to stmmac_simple_pm_ops. This is caused by
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS() defining the struct as static
and omitting the export when CONFIG_PM=n, unlike DEFINE_SIMPLE_PM_OPS()
which still defines the struct non-static.

Switch to using DEFINE_SIMPLE_PM_OPS() + EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), which
means we always define stmmac_simple_pm_ops, and it will always be
visible for dwmac-* to reference whether modular or built-in.
