Bug description:
[Impact]
There is a USB Ethernet port, 0bda:8153, on Dell IE Docking.
After plugged in the docking, system hard hangs.
[Fix]
This issue has been fix after v4.11-rc4, so after bisecting the kernel, we
found the first bad commit, and realized this issue is from Realtek USB
Ethernet driver with a non-initialized list.
98d068a r8152: fix the list rx_done may be used without initialization
[Test Case]
Verified on the Dell XPS and IE docking, and confirm this patch works.
[Regression Potential]
It's a one line patch and do the initialization of the list variable, there
should be no any regression would be resulted from this.
