Subject: ionic: check for link after netdev registration
Patch-mainline: v5.11-rc1
Git-commit: f6e428b27ee3a33692bb263685655adf61d0c9c0
References: jsc#SLE-16649

Request a link check as soon as the netdev is registered rather
than waiting for the watchdog to go off in order to get the
interface operational a little more quickly.
