If two or more instances of 'ip link set' commands race and first one
already brings the interface up (or down), the subsequent instances
can simply return without redoing the up/down operation.

Changelog[v2] For consistency with ibmvnic_open() use "goto out" and return
              from end of function.

Did you find the code path that triggers this?

In v1 we discussed how the usual ip link path should not call the
driver twice based on IFF_UP.
