rndis_host: Poll status before control channel where necessary

Some RNDIS devices don't respond on the control channel until polled
on the status channel.  In particular, this was reported to be the
case for the 2Wire HomePortal 1000SW and for some Windows Mobile
devices.

This is roughly based on a patch by John Carr <john.carr@unrouted.co.uk>
which is currently applied by Mandriva.
