IPoIB: Don't turn on carrier for a non-active port
Multicast joins can succeed even if the IB port is down. This happens when the SM runs on the same port with the requesting port. However, IPoIB calls netif_carrier_on() when the join of the broadcast group succeeds, without caring about the state of the IB port. The result is an IPoIB interface in RUNNING state but without an 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 checks the state of the IB port in the carrier_task before calling netif_carrier_on().
