[PATCH net-next v1 4/4] net-e1000e: Report carrier in loopback mode

[David Decotigny]

From: Maciej Åenczykowski <zenczykowski@xxxxxxxxx>

When interface is configured in loopback mode, force carrier check
positive.  This is useful when interface does not have carrier and
test puts the interface in loopback mode.

Tested: pktgen loopback on 80003ES2LAN
