Bringing a linked netdevsim device down and then up causes communication
failure because both interfaces lack carrier. Basically a ifdown/ifup on
the interface make the link broken.

Commit 3762ec05a9fbda ("netdevsim: add NAPI support") added supported
for NAPI, calling netif_carrier_off() in nsim_stop(). This patch
re-enables the carrier symmetrically on nsim_open(), in case the device
is linked and the peer is up.
