ravb: Fixed to be able to unload modules



When this driver is built as a module, I cannot rmmod it after insmoding
it.
This is because that this driver calls ravb_mdio_init() at the time of
probe, and module->refcnt is incremented by alloc_mdio_bitbang() called
after that.
Therefore, even if ifup is not performed, the driver is in use and rmmod
cannot be performed.

$ lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
ravb                   40960  1
$ rmmod ravb
rmmod: ERROR: Module ravb is in use

Call ravb_mdio_init() at open and free_mdio_bitbang() at close, thereby
rmmod is possible in the ifdown state.
