Syzbot reported uninit-value in asix_mdio_read(). The problem was in
missing error handling. asix_read_cmd() should initialize passed stack
variable smsr, but it can fail in some cases. Then while condidition
checks possibly uninit smsr variable.

Since smsr is uninitialized stack variable, driver can misbehave,
because smsr will be random in case of asix_read_cmd() failure.
Fix it by adding error cheking and just continue the loop instead of
checking uninit value.

Fixes: 8a46f665833a ("net: asix: Avoid looping when the device is disconnected")
Reported-by: syzbot+a631ec9e717fb0423053@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Signed-off-by: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@gmail.com>

Changes in v2:
	1. Fixed previous wrong approach and changed while loop to for loop
	2. Reported-and-tested-by: tag removed, since KMSAN tests can be
	   false positive. Used Reported-by instead.

This is not the right tag, the Fixes tag should point to the commit
where the problem is introduced. Robert/Vincent only added some error
checking, the issue was there before, right?

Once you locate the right starting point for the fix please make sure
to add the author to CC.

Thanks!

nit: move i after ret, reverse xmas tree style

Code LGTM, do other functions which Robert/Vincent touched not need the
same treatment tho?

Yes, this looks good. And Jakub is correct, there are 3 other bits of
similar code you should look at.
