net: macb: fix clk handling on PCI glue driver removal (CVE-2026-43015)

Summary

net: macb: fix clk handling on PCI glue driver removal

Original description

The description as published by the source.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: macb: fix clk handling on PCI glue driver removal

platform_device_unregister() may still want to use the registered clks
during runtime resume callback.

Note that there is a commit d82d5303c4c5 ("net: macb: fix use after free
on rmmod") that addressed the similar problem of clk vs platform device
unregistration but just moved the bug to another place.

Save the pointers to clks into local variables for reuse after platform
device is unregistered.
