usbnet: cap max_mtu for drivers without bind callback
usbnet_probe() initializes max_mtu to ETH_MAX_MTU and only caps it inside the if (info->bind) block. Drivers without a bind callback never enter this block, so max_mtu stays at ETH_MAX_MTU. QEMU's usb-net device (0x0525/0xa4a2) is claimed by the cdc_subset driver which has no bind callback. The guest accepts any MTU from DHCP (e.g. 65520 from passt), leading to TCP segments that exceed the device's 2048-byte receive buffer and are silently dropped. Initialize max_mtu to net->mtu at probe time and update it inside the bind block.
