Subject: [PATCH net-next 5/7] qlcnic: fix default operating state of interface

From: Amit Kumar Salecha <amit.salecha@...gic.com>

Currently interface shows status as RUNNING, even if there is no link.
To fix this, netif_carrier_off should be called after register_netdev().

netif_carrier_off calls linkwatch_fire_event(dev); only if netdev is registered,
otherwise it skips. linkwatch_fire_event set default state of nic interface.
