usb: gadget: Fix g_ether interface link status
A "usb0" interface that has never been connected to a host has an unknown
operstate, and therefore the IFF_RUNNING flag is (incorrectly) asserted
when queried by ifconfig, ifplugd, etc. This is a result of calling
netif_carrier_off() too early in the probe function; it should be called
after register_netdev().
Similar problems have been fixed in many other drivers, e.g.:
e826eafa6 (bonding: Call netif_carrier_off after register_netdevice)
0d672e9f8 (drivers/net: Call netif_carrier_off at the end of the probe)
6a3c869a6 (cxgb4: fix reported state of interfaces without link)
Fix is to move netif_carrier_off() to the end of the function.
