net: Move setting of netops to fix crash

Commit ded86da4bbb7 ("net: ethtool: relax ethnl_req_get_phydev()
locking assertion") put a netdev_need_ops_lock() check on the
phy_attach_direct() path, in phy_link_topo_add_phy(). With
CONFIG_NET_SHAPER enabled netdev_need_ops_lock() reads
dev->netdev_ops->net_shaper_ops, so any driver that connects a PHY
before assigning ndev->netdev_ops now dies with a NULL pointer
dereference at probe time. The breakage showed up in v7.3-rc1.

ibm/emac was hit first and fixed by commit 7c9f391ec89c ("net: emac:
move setting of netops to fix crash"). These ten patches apply the
same one-line move to the remaining in-tree drivers whose probe path
attaches a PHY before filling in netdev_ops:

  1. hisilicon/hisi_femac   (crash reproduced on hardware)
  2. hisilicon/hip04
  3. actions/owl-emac
  4. adi/adin1140
  5. marvell/mv643xx_eth
  6. amd/au1000_eth
  7. ethoc
  8. aeroflex/greth
  9. ti/icssm-prueth
 10. microchip/lan865x      (attach happens inside oa_tc6_init())

Only patch 1 was reproduced and verified on hardware; patches 2-10
were found by source inspection and are neither build nor boot
tested.

Note that ti/netcp_ethss and cavium/thunder_bgx attach a PHY to
netdevs that never get a netdev_ops at all (dummy netdevs), so they
cannot be fixed by reordering and are not addressed here.
