[NET]: Disable queueing when carrier is lost.
Some network drivers call netif_stop_queue() when detecting loss of carrier. This leads to packets being queued up at the qdisc level for an unbound period of time. In order to prevent this effect, the core networking stack will now cease to queue packets for any device, that is operationally down (i.e. the queue is flushed and disabled). Signed-off-by: Tommy S.
