netdev/phy: Fixup lockdep warnings in mdio-mux.c

With lockdep enabled we get:

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
3.4.4-Cavium-Octeon+ #313 Not tainted
---------------------------------------------
kworker/u:1/36 is trying to acquire lock:
(&bus->mdio_lock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff813da7e8>] mdio_mux_read+0x38/0xa0

but task is already holding lock:
 (&bus->mdio_lock){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff813d79e4>] mdiobus_read+0x44/0x88

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(&bus->mdio_lock);
  lock(&bus->mdio_lock);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation
.

.

This is a false positive, since we are indeed using 'nested' locking,
we need to use mutex_lock_nested().

Now in theory we can stack multiple MDIO multiplexers, but that would
require passing the nesting level (which is difficult to know) to
mutex_lock_nested().  Instead we assume the simple case of a single
level of nesting.  Since these are only warning messages, it isn't so
important to solve the general case.
