"sierra_net: keep status interrupt URB active", sierra_net triggers
status interrupt polling before the net_device is opened (in order to
properly receive the sync message response).

To be able to receive further interrupts, the interrupt urb needs to be
re-submitted, so this patch removes the bogus check for netif_running().

And what about the other drivers for whom this patch means added
traffic? This fix is done with a sledge hammer and cares only about
some drivers.
I'd much prefer you introduced a driver flag for this.
