macb: Remove inappropriate spinlocks around mii calls

Browse source 
Remove spin_lock_irqsave() around mii_ethtool_gset, mii_ethtool_sset
and generic_mii_ioctl. These are unnecessary and harmful because
the mii calls may call back into the mdio functions, which may sleep.

Pointed out by David Brownell.
