Bringing up a bond interface with all network cables disconnected
does not properly set the interface as DOWN because the call to
netif_carrier_off occurs too early in bond_init. The call needs
to occur after register_netdevice has set dev->reg_state to
NETREG_REGISTERED, so that netif_carrier_off will trigger the
call to linkwatch_fire_event.
