Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 125/293] hv_netvsc: Fix the carrier state
 error when data path is off

From: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@...rosoft.com>

[ Upstream commit 53fa1a6f33520f01f9dbee48369074b34d77616b ]

When the VF NIC is opened, the synthetic NIC's carrier state is set to
off. This tells the host to transitions data path to the VF device. But
if startup script or user manipulates the admin state of the netvsc
device directly for example:
        # ifconfig eth0 down
	# ifconfig eth0 up
Then the carrier state of the synthetic NIC would be on, even though the
data path was still over the VF NIC. This patch sets the carrier state
of synthetic NIC with consideration of the related VF state.
