[ofa-general] [PATCH] IB/ipoib: Do not turn on carrier to a non active port

This patch fixes https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1726
Multicast join can succeed even if IB port is down. This happens when OpenSM
runs on the same port as the requesting port. IPoIB on the other hand, calls
netif_carrier_on() when join succeeded without caring about the state of
the IB port. The result is - an IPoIB interface in RUNNING state but without
active IB port to support it. If a bonding interface uses this IPoIB interface
as a slave it might not detect that this slave is almost useless and failover
functionality will be damaged.
The fix here is to check the state of the IB port in the carrier_task before
calling netif_carrier_on().
