Change the link status code in MII to use if_link_state_change instead
of calling rt_ifmsg directly. This allows other parts of the kernel
to change the behaviour depending on the link state and is a
prerequirement for CARP.

Hide mii_phy_statusmsg, mii_phy_update should be used instead.
Don't send routing messages for baudrate changes, if_baudrate is
currently not exported via this interface.

OK tls@

I also ok'ed...
