| sb1250-mac-mdio: probed

mdiobus_register() calls device_register() which initializes the kobj of
the device. mdiobus_unregister() calls only device_del() so we have one
reference left. That one is leaving with mdiobus_free() which is only
called on remove.
Since I don't see any reason why mdiobus_register()/mdiobus_unregister()
should happen in ->open()/->close() I move them to probe & exit.
