Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 4/4] net-e1000e: Report carrier in loopback mode

From: Maciej Żenczykowski <zenczykowski@...il.com>

When interface is configured in loopback mode, force carrier check
positive.  This is useful when interface does not have carrier and
test puts the interface in loopback mode.

Tested: pktgen loopback on 80003ES2LAN
