    There are two reasons for memleak in dsa_loop_init().
    
    First, fixed_phy_register() create and register phy_device:
    
    fixed_phy_register()
      get_phy_device()
        phy_device_create() # freed by phy_device_free()
      phy_device_register() # freed by phy_device_remove()
    
    But fixed_phy_unregister() only calls phy_device_remove().
    So the memory allocated in phy_device_create() is leaked.
    
    Second, when mdio_driver_register() fail in dsa_loop_init(),
    it just returns and there is no cleanup for phydevs.
    
    Fix the problems by catching the error of mdio_driver_register()
    in dsa_loop_init(), then calling both fixed_phy_unregister() and
    phy_device_free() to release phydevs.
    Also add a function for phydevs cleanup to avoid duplacate.
