usbnet: Set duplex status to unknown in the absence of MII

Currently, USB CDC devices that do not use MDIO to get link status have
their duplex mode set to half-duplex by default. However, since the CDC
specification does not define a duplex status, this can be misleading.

This patch changes the default to DUPLEX_UNKNOWN in the absence of MII,
which more accurately reflects the state of the link and avoids implying
an incorrect or error state.
