Subject: [PATCH net v2] net-sysfs: check device is present when showing duplex

A sysfs reader can race with a device reset or removal, attempting to
read device state when the device is not actuall present.

This is the same sort of panic as observed in commit 4224cfd7fb65
("net-sysfs: add check for netdevice being present to speed_show"):

 crash> struct net_device.state ffff9a9d21336000
   state = 5,

state 5 is __LINK_STATE_START (0b1) and __LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER (0b100).
The device is not present, note lack of __LINK_STATE_PRESENT (0b10).

Resolve by adding the same netif_device_present() check to duplex_show.

v2: Restrict patch to just required path and describe problem in more
    detail as suggested by Johannes Berg. Improve commit message format
    as suggested by Shigeru Yoshida.
