net: usb: ax88179_178a: avoid writing the mac address before first reading 

After the commit d2689b6a86 ("net: usb: ax88179_178a: avoid two
consecutive device resets"), reset operation, in which the default mac
address from the device is read, is not executed from bind operation and
the random address, that is pregenerated just in case, is direclty written
the first time in the device, so the default one from the device is not
even read. This writing is not dangerous because is volatile and the
default mac address is not missed.

In order to avoid this and keep the simplification to have only one
reset and reduce the delays, restore the reset from bind operation and
remove the reset that is commanded from open operation. The behavior is
the same but everything is ready for usbnet_probe.

Tested with ASIX AX88179 USB Gigabit Ethernet devices.
Restore the old behavior for the rest of possible devices because I don't
have the hardware to test.
