net: mdio: Fix lockdep falls positive splat
MDIO devices can be stacked upon each other. The current code supports two levels, which until recently has been enough for a DSA mdio bus on top of another bus. Now we have hardware which has an MDIO mux in the middle. Define an MDIO MUTEX class with three levels. Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
