net: qmi_wwan: bind to both control and data interface

Always bind to control interface regardless of whether
it is a shared interface or not.

A QMI/wwan function is required to provide both a control
interface (QMI) and a data interface (wwan).  All devices
supported by this driver do so.  But the vendors may
choose to use different USB descriptor layouts, and some
vendors even allow the same device to present different
layouts.

Most of these devices use a USB descriptor layout with a
single USB interface for both control and data.  But some
split control and data into two interfaces, bound together
by a CDC Union descriptor on the control interface. Before
the cdc-wdm subdriver support was added, this split was
used to let cdc-wdm drive the QMI control interface and
qmi_wwan drive the wwna data interface.

This split driver model has a number of issues:
 - qmi_wwan must match on the data interface descriptor,
   which often are indistiguishable from data interfaces
   belonging to other CDC (like) functions like ACM
 - supporting a single QMI/wwan function requires adding
   the device to two drivers
 - syncronizing the probes among a number of drivers, to
   ensure selecting the correct driver, is difficult unless
   all drivers match on the same interface

This patch resolves these problems by using the same
probing mechanism as cdc-ether for devices with a two-
interface USB descriptor layout.  This makes the driver
behave consistently, supporting both the control and data
part of the QMI/wwan function, regardless of the USB
descriptors.
