net: stmmac: remove unnecessary netif_carrier_off()

It is incorrect to call netif_carrier_off(), or in fact any driver
teardown, before unregister_netdev() has been called.

unregister_netdev() unpublishes the network device from userspace, and
takes the interface down if it was up prior to returning. Therefore,
once the call has returned, we are guaranteed that .ndo_stop() will
have been called for an interface that was up. Phylink will take the
carrier down via phylink_stop(), making any manipulation of the carrier
in the remove path unnecessary.

In the stmmac_release() path, the netif_carrier_off() call follows the
call to phylink_stop(), so this call is redundant.
