lan78xx: USB fast connect/disconnect crash fix
USB fast connect/disconnect crash fix When USB plugged/unplugged at fast rate, lan78xx_mdio_init() in lan78xx_bind() failing case is not handled. Whenever lan78xx_mdio_init() failed, dev->mdiobus will be freed, however since lan78xx_bind() not consider as error and try to proceed for further initialization in lan78xx_probe() which leads system hung/crash. Also when register_netdev() failed, netdev is freed without calling lan78xx_unbind(). Hence halting the failed cases right manner fixes the system crash/hung issue.
