net: phy: fix issue with loading PHY driver w/o initramfs
It was reported that on a system with nfsboot and w/o initramfs network
fails because trying to load the PHY driver returns -ENOENT. Reason was
that due to missing initramfs the modprobe binary isn't available.
So we have to ignore error code -ENOENT.
Fixes: 13d0ab6750b2 ("net: phy: check return code when requesting PHY driver module")
