phylib: Support phy module autoloading

Browse Source 
We don't use the normal hotplug mechanism because it doesn't work. It will
load the module some time after the device appears, but that's not good
enough for us -- we need the driver loaded _immediately_ because otherwise
the NIC driver may just abort and then the phy 'device' goes away.

[bwh: s/phy/mdio/ in module alias, kerneldoc for struct mdio_device_id]
