net: usbnet: Fix the wrong netif_carrier_on() call
commit 8466d39 upstream. The commit referenced in the Fixes tag causes usbnet to malfunction (identified via git bisect). Post-commit, my external RJ45 LAN cable fails to connect. Linus also reported the same issue after pulling that commit. The code has a logic error: netif_carrier_on() is only called when the link is already on. Fix this by moving the netif_carrier_on() call outside the if-statement entirely. This ensures it is always called when EVENT_LINK_CARRIER_ON is set and properly clears it regardless of the link state.
