r8169: fix issue caused by buggy BIOS on certain boards with RTL8168d

Browse Source 
On some boards with this chip version the BIOS is buggy and misses
to reset the PHY page selector. This results in the PHY ID read
accessing registers on a different page, returning a more or
less random value. Fix this by resetting the page selector first.
