r8152: prevent the driver from transmitting packets with carrier off
[ Upstream commit 2f25abe6 ] The linking status may be changed when autosuspend. And, after autoresume, the driver may try to transmit packets when the device is carrier off, because the interrupt transfer doesn't update the linking status, yet. And, if the device is in ALDPS mode, the device would stop working. The another similar case is 1. unplug the cable. 2. interrupt transfer queue a work_queue for linking change. 3. device enters the ALDPS mode. 4. a tx occurs before the work_queue is called.
