The phy_link_topology structure stores information about the PHY-related components connected to a net_device. It is opportunistically allocated, when we add the first item to the topology, as this is not relevant for all kinds of net_devices. In preparation for the addition of phy_port tracking in the topology, let's make a dedicated helper for that allocation sequence.
