ehea: fix operation state report
Currently the ehea driver is missing a call to netif_carrier_off() before the interface bring-up; this is necessary in order to initialize the __LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER bit in the net_device state field. Otherwise, we observe state UNKNOWN on "ip address" command output. This patch adds a call to netif_carrier_off() on ehea's net device open callback.
