====================
net: af_packet: allow joining a fanout when link is down

PACKET socket can retain its fanout membership through link down and up
and leave a fanout while closed regardless of link state.
However, socket was forbidden from joining a fanout while it was not
RUNNING.

This scenario was identified while studying DPDK pmd_af_packet_drv.
Since sockets are only created during initialization, there is no reason
to fail the initialization if a single link is temporarily down.

This patch allows PACKET socket to join a fanout while not RUNNING.

Selftest psock_fanout is extended to test this "fanout while link down"
scenario.

Selftest psock_fanout is also extended to test fanout create/join by
socket that did not bind or specified a protocol, which carries an
implicit bind.
