[PATCH] net: stmmac: fix kernel panic due to NULL pointer dereference of mdio_bus_data

[Sriranjani P <sriranjani.p@samsung.com>]

Fixed link does not need mdio bus and in that case mdio_bus_data will
not be allocated. Before using mdio_bus_data we should check for NULL.

This patch fix the kernel panic due to NULL pointer dereference of
mdio_bus_data when it is not allocated.

Without this patch we do see following kernel crash caused due to kernel
NULL pointer dereference.
