link_xfrm: don't force to set phydev 

Since linux commit 22d6552f827e ("xfrm interface: fix management of
phydev"), phydev is not mandatory anymore.

Note that it also could be useful before the above commit to not force the
user to put a phydev (the kernel was checking it anyway).
For example, it was useful to not set it in case of x-netns, because the
phydev is not available in the current netns:

Before the patch:
$ ip netns add foo
$ ip link add xfrm1 type xfrm dev eth1 if_id 1
$ ip link set xfrm1 netns foo
$ ip -n foo link set xfrm1 type xfrm dev eth1 if_id 2
Cannot find device "eth1"
$ ip -n foo link set xfrm1 type xfrm if_id 2
must specify physical device
