macsec: linkstate fixes
This series fixes issues with handling administrative and operstate of
macsec devices.
Radu Rendec proposed another version of the first patch [0] but I'd
rather not follow the behavior of vlan devices, going with macvlan
does instead. Patrick Talbert also reported the same issue to me.
The second patch is a follow-up. The restriction on setting the device
up is a bit unreasonable, and operstate provides the information we
need in this case.
