Subject: [PATCH net 1/4] net-sysfs: check device is present when showing carrier

A sysfs reader can race with a device reset or removal.

This was fixed for speed_show with commit 4224cfd7fb65 ("net-sysfs: add
check for netdevice being present to speed_show") so add the same check
to carrier_show.

Fixes: facd15dfd691 ("net: core: synchronize link-watch when carrier is queried")
