Make phylib’s state-machine timer run for drivers that provide
get_next_update_time() but not update_stats().
phy_polling_mode() currently switches to polling only when either
- the PHY runs in interrupt-less mode, or
- the driver exposes update_stats() (needed by several
statistics-gathering drivers).
Upcoming support for adaptive polling in the SMSC LAN9512/LAN8700 family
relies on get_next_update_time() alone, so the helper must also trigger
polling for that callback. No in-tree drivers have required this until
now, so the change does not alter existing behaviour.
