That patch had a small mistake that broke setting the operstate via
rtnetlink. The fix is below along with the new changeset.

Subject: [PATCH] Fold net_device.operstate into net_device.state
The variable operstate in the net_device structure typically held
nothing beyond what was already in the normal state flags (carrier_ok,
etc). operstate's main purpose is to allow user space to set a network
interface to a dormant state. Keeping operstate and state in sync is a
bit awkward so this patch removes operstate and replaces it by using the
state flags instead. Setting the interface to dormant from user-space is
now handled by netif_userspace_dormant to parallel the netif_dormant set
of functions that drivers use.
This resolves a regression that was introduced by commit
b47300168e770b60ab96c8924854c3 which prevented operstate from being kept
in sync with state before the device is registered. This caused drivers
that set things like the carrier state before registering to mis-report
their initial state, breaking NetworkManager, dhcpcd, etc.
