net: macb: Add small delay after link establishment

I've noticed that the first ethernet packet after PHY link establishment
is not tranferred correctly most of the time on my AT91SAM9G25 board.
Here I usually see a timeout of a few seconds, which is quite
annoying.

Adding a small delay (10ms in this case) after the link establishment
helps to solve this problem. With this patch applied, this timeout
on the first packet is not seen any more.
