e1000e: Remove duplicated writel() in e1000_configure_tx/rx()

Duplicated register initialization codes exist in e1000_configure_tx()
and e1000_configure_rx().

For example, writel(0, tx_ring->head) writes 0 to tx_ring->head, which
is adapter->hw.hw_addr + E1000_TDH(0).

This initialization is already done in ew32(TDH(0), 0).

ew32(TDH(0), 0) is equivalent to __ew32(hw, E1000_TDH(0), 0). It
executes writel(0, hw->hw_addr + E1000_TDH(0)). Since variable hw is
set to &adapter->hw, it is equal to writel(0, tx_ring->head).

We can remove similar four writel() in e1000_configure_tx() and
e1000_configure_rx().

commit 0845d45e900c ("e1000e: Modify Tx/Rx configurations to avoid
null pointer dereferences in e1000_open") has introduced these
writel(). This commit moved register writing to
e1000_configure_tx/rx(), and as result, it caused duplication in
e1000_configure_tx/rx().

This patch modifies the sequence of register writing, but removing
these writes is safe because the same writes were already there before
the commit.

I also have checked the datasheets [0] [1] and have not found any
description that we need to write RDH, RDT, TDH and TDT registers
twice at initialization. Furthermore, we have tested this patch on an
I219-V device physically.
