Clear EEE runtime flags when the PHY transitions to HALTED or ERROR and the state machine drops the link. This avoids stale EEE state being reported via ethtool after the PHY is stopped or hits an error. This change intentionally only clears software runtime flags and avoids MDIO accesses in HALTED/ERROR. A follow-up patch will address other link state variables.
