Log:
  Do not report current link status if driver is not running.
  This change also workarounds dhclient's link state handling bug by
  not giving current link status.
  
  Unlike other controllers, ale(4)'s PHY hibernation perfectly works
  such that driver does not see a valid link if the controller is not
  brought up.  If dhclient(8) runs on ale(4) it will blindly waits
  until link UP and then gives up after 10 seconds.  Because
  dhclient(8) still thinks interface got a valid link when IFM_AVALID
  is not set for selected media,  this change makes dhclient initiate
  DHCP without waiting for link UP.
