Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] net: usb: ax88179_178a: avoid two consecutive device resets

The device is always reset two consecutive times (ax88179_reset is called
twice), one from usbnet_probe during the device binding and the other from
usbnet_open.

Remove the non-necessary reset during the device binding and let the reset
operation from open to keep the normal behavior (tested with generic ASIX
Electronics Corp. AX88179 Gigabit Ethernet device).

Fixes: e2ca90c276e1f ("ax88179_178a: ASIX AX88179_178A USB 3.0/2.0 to gigabit ethernet adapter driver")

V1 -> V2:
- Add Fixes tag.
- Follow Paolo Abeni's suggestion and remove the binding reset, not the
  reset operation to keep the normal behavior.
