net: phylink: fix NULL pl->pcs dereference during phylink_pcs_poll_start
The current link mode of the phylink instance may not require an
attached PCS. However, phylink_major_config() unconditionally
dereferences this potentially NULL pointer when restarting the link poll
timer, which will panic the kernel.
Fix the problem by checking whether a PCS exists in phylink_pcs_poll_start(),
otherwise do nothing. The code prior to the blamed patch also only
looked at pcs->poll within an "if (pcs)" block.
