[PATCH net] tg3: Fix race for querying speed/duplex

[PATCH net] tg3: Fix race for querying speed/duplex

[Thomas Bogendoerfer]

When driver signals carrier up via netif_carrier_on() its internal
link_up state isn't updated immediately. This leads to inconsistent
speed/duplex in /proc/net/bonding/bondX where the speed and duplex
is shown as unknown while ethtool shows correct values. Fix this by
using netif_carrier_ok() for link checking in get_ksettings function.
