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