[PATCH net] Revert "rtnetlink: add rtnl_link_state check in rtnl_configure_link"

[mcbirnie . l]

From: Liam McBirnie <liam.mcbir...@boeing.com>

This reverts commit 8d356b89f36d234a56434a110ae779e8ac389ca2.

This commit was intended to remove duplicate RTM_NEWLINK notifications
by only sending the notification if the link hadn't been initialized.
However, if a vxlan is created and set up with the same message,
then no netlink notification is sent showing that the link has been
set up.

This commit was part of a series of commits which fixed the ordering
of netlink notifications for vxlans.
Reverting this commit preserves the ordering but adds another
RTM_NEWLINK notification to the end.
