[PATCH] usb gadget: fix race between eth_open() and gen_ndis_set_resp()

[Yong Zhang <yong.zhang0@xxxxxxxxx>]

In such a scenario:
static int gen_ndis_set_resp()
{
	...
        switch (OID) {
	        case OID_GEN_CURRENT_PACKET_FILTER:
		...
		if (*params->filter) {
			...
		} else {
                        params->state = RNDIS_INITIALIZED;
			netif_carrier_off(params->dev);
			netif_stop_queue(params->dev);      <=== A
		}
}

After A is finished, if someone call 'ifconfig usb0 *.*.*.*',
usb0 will never go up because eth_open() fail to call eth_start();

Fix it by calling eth_start() unconditionally in eth_open().
