networkd-wwan: drop unreachable unknown-bearer fallback path

bearer_get_by_path() only succeeds when both modem and bearer are found.
On failure, trying bearer_new_and_initialize(modem, path) was
unreachable and relied on a modem value that is not returned on that
path.

Treat unknown bearers as no-op and rely on modem_map_bearers() for
association during initialization.
