[PATCH] Avoid deadlock in smc91x driver

This patch avoids a deadlock on rtnl_sem in smc_close() when bringing down
an smc91x interface.  The semaphore is already held by devinet_ioctl() and
the pending work queue contains linkwatch_event() (scheduled by
netif_carrier_off()) which also wants rtnl_sem hence it is unsafe to call
flush_scheduled_work().

The solution is to track whether we have any pending work of our own and
wait for that instead of flushing the entire queue.

I also fixed a typo 'ence' -> 'Hence' and renamed smc_detect_phy to
smc_phy_detect in order to follow the same pattern as the other smc_phy_*
functions.
