Subject: [PATCH 15/19] batman-adv: Use ethtool helper to get link status

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@...fation.org>

The ethtool_ops of batman-adv never contained more than a stub for the
get_link function pointer. It was always returning that a link exists even
when the devices was not yet up and therefore nothing resampling a link
could have been available.

Instead use the ethtool helper which returns the current carrier state.
