cdc_ncm,cdc_mbim: Use NCM by default

Devices that support both NCM and MBIM modes should be kept in NCM
mode unless there is userland support for MBIM.

Set the default value of cdc_ncm.prefer_mbim to false and leave it to
userland (modem-manager) to override this with a modprobe.conf file
once it's ready to speak MBIM.
