net: asix: fix modprobe "sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename"

"modprobe asix ; rmmod asix ; modprobe asix" fails with:
   sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename \
   	'/devices/virtual/mdio_bus/usb-003:004'

Issue was originally reported by Anton Lundin on 2022-06-22 (link below).

Chrome OS team hit the same issue in Feb, 2023 when trying to find
work arounds for other issues with AX88172 devices.

The use of devm_mdiobus_register() with usbnet devices results in the
MDIO data being associated with the USB device. When the asix driver
is unloaded, the USB device continues to exist and the corresponding
"mdiobus_unregister()" is NOT called until the USB device is unplugged
or unauthorized. So the next "modprobe asix" will fail because the MDIO
phy sysfs attributes still exist.

The 'easy' (from a design PoV) fix is to use the non-devm variants of
mdiobus_* functions and explicitly manage this use in the asix_bind
and asix_unbind function calls. I've not explored trying to fix usbnet
initialization so devm_* stuff will work.
