The netdevice is always available, apply any carrier state changes to it
without caching them.
On a STARTLAN event (ie. carrier-up), defer updating the state to
qeth_core_hardsetup_card() in the subsequent recovery action.
Also remove the carrier-state checks from the xmit routines. Stopping
transmission on carrier-down is the responsibility of upper-level code
(eg see dev_direct_xmit()).
