gianfar: Avoid unnecessary reg accesses in adjust_link()
For phy devices that don't issue interrupts upon link state changes, phylib polls the link state resulting in repeated calls to adjust_link(), even if the link state didn't change. As a result, some mac registers are repeatedly read and written with the same values, which is not ok. To fix this, adjust_link() has been refactored to check first whether the link state has changed and to take action only if needed, updating mac registers and local state variables. The 'new_state' local flag, set if one of the link params changed (link, speed or duplex), has been rendered useless and removed by this refactoring.
