Subject: [PATCH 2/6] staging: dpaa2-ethsw: ignore state interrupts when the interface is not running

Link state interrupts will be transmitted to the DPSW object even though
the user has not yet issued a 'ifconfig up' on a switch interface. Don't
act on those interrupts since there are of no interrest.
