[ Upstream commit c384c2401e ]
Current code ignores link state updates if VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS was not
negotiated. However, link state updates could be received before feature
negotiation was completed , therefore causing link state events to be
lost, possibly leaving the link state down.
Modify the code so link state notifier is registered after DRIVER_OK was
negotiated and carry the registration only if
VIRTIO_NET_F_STATUS was negotiated. Unregister the notifier when the
device is reset.
