mii: Handle link state changes for forced modes in mii_check_media()
mii_check_media() does not update the link (carrier) state or log link changes when the link mode is forced. Drivers using the mii library must do this themselves, but most of them do not. Instead of changing them all, provide a sensible default behaviour similar to mii_check_link() when the mode is forced. via-rhine depends on it being a no-op in this case, so make its call to mii_check_media() conditional.
