In preparation for reporting PSE events via ethtool notifications,
introduce an attached_phydev field in the pse_control structure.
This field stores the phy_device associated with the PSE PI,
ensuring that notifications are sent to the correct network
interface.

The attached_phydev pointer is directly tied to the PHY lifecycle. It
is set when the PHY is registered and cleared when the PHY is removed.
There is no need to use a refcount, as doing so could interfere with
the PHY removal process.
