mdio_bus: don't return NULL from mdiobus_scan()
I've finally noticed that mdiobus_scan() also returns either NULL or error
value on failure. Return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) instead of NULL since this is
the error value already filtered out by the callers that want to ignore
the MDIO address scan failure...
