phylib: fix potential use-after-free

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1959879
[ Upstream commit cbda1b16687580d5beee38273f6241ae3725960c ]

Commit bafbdd527d56 ("phylib: Add device reset GPIO support") added call
to phy_device_reset(phydev) after the put_device() call in phy_detach().

The comment before the put_device() call says that the phydev might go
away with put_device().

Fix potential use-after-free by calling phy_device_reset() before
put_device().
