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.
