net: core: synchronize link-watch when carrier is queried
There are multiple ways to query for the carrier state: through rtnetlink, sysfs, and (possibly) ethtool. Synchronize linkwatch work before these operations so that we don't have a situation where userspace queries the carrier state between the driver's carrier off->on transition and linkwatch running and expects it to work, when really (at least) TX cannot work until linkwatch has run. I previously posted a longer explanation of how this applies to wireless [1] but with this wireless can simply query the state before sending data, to ensure the kernel is ready for it.
