[PATCH] net: eth-uclass: avoid running start() twice without stop()

Running the start() handler twice without a stop() inbetween completely breaks communication for some ethernet drivers like fec_mxc.
eth_halt() is called before each eth_init(). Due to the switch to eth_is_active() in commit 68acb51f442f ("net: Only call halt on a driver that has been init'ed"), this is not sufficient anymore when netconsole is active: eth_init_state_only()/eth_halt_state_only() manipulate the state check that is performed by eth_is_active() without actually calling into the driver.
The issue can be triggered by starting a network operation (e.g. ping or tftp) while netconsole is active.
Add an additional "running" flag that reflects the actual state of the driver and use it to ensure that eth_halt() actually stops the device as it is supposed to.

Applied to u-boot/master, thanks!
