igb: skip phy status check where unavailable

igb_read_phy_reg() will silently return, leaving phy_data untouched, if
hw->ops.read_reg isn't set. Depending on the uninitialized value of
phy_data, this led to the phy status check either succeeding immediately
or looping continuously for 2 seconds before emitting a noisy err-level
timeout. This message went out to the console even though there was no
actual problem.

Instead, first check if there is read_reg function pointer. If not,
proceed without trying to check the phy status register.
