[Xen-devel] [NET] front: Replace backend_state with netif_carrier

[Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi:

The tristate backend_state really only needs to be a boolean.  In fact
other virtualisation network drivers such as the s390 already model this
using netif_carrier_*.  So by converting backend_state over to the net
carrier flag we can tap into existing infrastructure rather than creating
new ones.
