mlx5: count all link events
mlx5 devices were observed generating MLX5_PORT_CHANGE_SUBTYPE_ACTIVE events without an intervening MLX5_PORT_CHANGE_SUBTYPE_DOWN. This breaks link flap detection based on Linux carrier state transition count as netif_carrier_on() does nothing if carrier is already on. Make sure we count such events. netif_carrier_event() increments the counters and fires the linkwatch events. The latter is not necessary for the use case but seems like the right thing to do.
