net: stmmac: remove unnecessary netif_carrier_off()
It is incorrect to call netif_carrier_off(), or in fact any driver teardown, before unregister_netdev() has been called. unregister_netdev() unpublishes the network device from userspace, and takes the interface down if it was up prior to returning. Therefore, once the call has returned, we are guaranteed that .ndo_stop() will have been called for an interface that was up. Phylink will take the carrier down via phylink_stop(), making any manipulation of the carrier in the remove path unnecessary. In the stmmac_release() path, the netif_carrier_off() call follows the call to phylink_stop(), so this call is redundant.
