Commit c8d68e6be1c3b242f1c598595830890b65cea64a removed carrier off call
from tun_detach since it's now called on queue disable and not only on
tun close.  This confuses userspace which used this flag to detect a
free tun. To fix, put this back but under if (clean).

Changes from v1:
	Don't set carrier off unless all queues are closed.

Note: didn't test in MQ mode - Jason, care checking this does the
right thing there?
