lan743x: fix for potential NULL pointer dereference with bare card

This is the 3rd revision of the patch fix for potential null pointer dereference
with lan743x card.

The simpliest way to reproduce: boot with bare lan743x and issue "ethtool ethN"
commant where ethN is the interface with lan743x card. Example:

$ sudo ethtool eth7

v2:
do not return from lan743x_ethtool_set_wol if netdev->phydev == NULL, just skip
the call of phy_ethtool_set_wol() instead.

v3:
in function lan743x_ethtool_set_wol:
use ternary operator instead of if-else sentence (review by Markus Elfring)
return -ENETDOWN insted of -EIO (review by Andrew Lunn)
