net: phy: smsc: bail out in lan87xx_read_status if genphy_read_status fails
[ Upstream commit c22c3bbf351e4ce905f082649cffa1ff893ea8c1 ]
If genphy_read_status fails then further access to the PHY may result
in unpredictable behavior. To prevent this bail out immediately if
genphy_read_status fails.
