net: ethernet: mediatek: use devm_mdiobus_alloc instead of mdiobus_alloc inside mtk_mdio_init
a lot of parts in the driver uses devm_* APIs to gain benefits from the
device resource management, so devm_mdiobus_alloc is also used instead
of mdiobus_alloc to have more elegant code flow.
Using common code provided by the devm_* helps to
1) have simplified the code flow as [1] says
2) decrease the risk of incorrect error handling by human
3) only a few drivers used it since it was proposed on linux 3.16,
so just hope to promote for this.
