Issue we met:
On some platforms, mac cannot work after resumed from the suspend with WoL
enabled.

The cause of the issue:
1. phylink_resolve() is in a workqueue which will not be executed immediately.
   This is the call sequence:
       phylink_resolve()->phylink_link_up()->pl->mac_ops->mac_link_up()
   For stmmac driver, mac_link_up() will set the correct speed/duplex...
   values which are from link_state.
2. In stmmac_resume(), it will call stmmac_hw_setup() after called the
   phylink_resume(). stmmac_core_init() is called in function stmmac_hw_setup(),
... and that is where the problem is. Don't call phylink_resume() before
your hardware is ready to see a link-up event.
... and while that is being fixed, maybe the stupid code in
stmmac_resume() can also be fixed:

        rtnl_lock();
        if (device_may_wakeup(priv->device) && priv->plat->pmt) {
                phylink_resume(priv->phylink);
        } else {
                phylink_resume(priv->phylink);
                if (device_may_wakeup(priv->device))
                        phylink_speed_up(priv->phylink);
        }
        rtnl_unlock();

        rtnl_lock();

1. phylink_resume() is always called after that first rtnl_lock(), so
there's no point it being stupidly in each side of the if().

2. the rtnl_unlock() followed by rtnl_lock() is completely unnecessary.

Thanks.
