net-sysfs: restore behavior for not running devices

Browse source

modprobe dummy dumdummies=1

Old behavior :

$ cat /sys/class/net/dummy0/carrier
cat: /sys/class/net/dummy0/carrier: Invalid argument

After blamed commit, an empty string is reported.

$ cat /sys/class/net/dummy0/carrier
$

In this commit, I restore the old behavior for carrier,
speed and duplex attributes.
