When the device is unplugged or stopped, the linking status
may be true, so I add additional checks to avoid the submission.

Besides, in set_carrier() I set netif_carrier_on() after
ops.enable() to avoid any transmission before I finish
starting the tx/rx.

	tp->rtl_ops.enable(tp);
	set_bit(RTL8152_SET_RX_MODE, &tp->flags);
	netif_carrier_on(netdev);

However, the r8152_submit_rx() would be called in ops.enable(),
and the check of netif_carrier_ok() would be always false. That
is why I use tp->speed, not netif_carrier_ok(), to check the
linking stauts.
