virtio-net: synchronize operstate with admin state on up/down

This patch synchronizes operstate with admin state per RFC2863.

This is done by trying to toggle the carrier upon open/close and
synchronize with the config change work. This allows to propagate
status correctly to stacked devices like:

ip link add link enp0s3 macvlan0 type macvlan
ip link set link enp0s3 down
ip link show

Before this patch:

3: enp0s3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:00:05:00:00:09 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
......
5: macvlan0@enp0s3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP,M-DOWN> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether b2:a9:c5:04:da:53 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

After this patch:

3: enp0s3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:00:05:00:00:09 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
...
5: macvlan0@enp0s3: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,M-DOWN> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state LOWERLAYERDOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether b2:a9:c5:04:da:53 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
