    if: guard against if_ioctl being NULL

    There are situations where an struct ifnet has a NULL if_ioctl pointer.

    For example, e6000sw creates such struct ifnets for each of its ports so it
can
    call into the MII code.

    If there is then a link state event this calls do_link_state_change()
    -> rtnl_handle_ifevent() -> dump_iface() -> get_operstate() ->
    get_operstate_ether(). That wants to know if the link is up or down, so it
tries
    to ioctl(SIOCGIFMEDIA), which doesn't go well if if_ioctl is NULL.

    Guard against this, and return EOPNOTSUPP.
