[PATCH net 2/2] r8169: fix deadlock in "r8169_phylink_handler"

From: ChunHao Lin
Date: Mon Nov 27 2023 - 12:58:18 EST


In "r8169_phylink_handler", for rtl8125, it will call "rtl_reset_work"->
"rtl_hw_start"->"rtl_jumbo_config"->"phy_start_aneg". When call
"r8169_phylink_handler", PHY lock is acquired. But "phy_start_aneg"
will also try to acquire PHY lock. That will cause deadlock.

In this path, use "_phy_start_aneg", unlocked version "phy_start_aneg",
to prevent deadlock in "r8169_phylink_handler".
