Subject: hyperv: Fix the carrier status setting
From: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 891de74d693bb4fefe2efcc6432a4a9a9bee561e ]
Without this patch, the "cat /sys/class/net/ethN/operstate" shows
"unknown", and "ethtool ethN" shows "Link detected: yes", when VM
boots up with or without vNIC connected.
This patch fixed the problem.
