macsec: let the administrator set UP state even if lowerdev is down

Browse Source 
[ Upstream commit 07bddef983 ]

Currently, the kernel doesn't let the administrator set a macsec device
up unless its lower device is currently up. This is inconsistent, as a
macsec device that is up won't automatically go down when its lower
device goes down.

Now that linkstate propagation works, there's really no reason for this
limitation, so let's remove it.
