Subject: [PATCH] ibmvnic: Set state UP
References: bsc#1062962
Patch-mainline: v4.15-rc1
Git-commit: e876a8a7e9dd89dc88c12ca2e81beb478dbe9897
State is initially reported as UNKNOWN. Before register call
netif_carrier_off(). Once the device is opened, call netif_carrier_on() in
order to set the state to UP.
