if: Defer the if_up until the ifnet.if_ioctl is called.

Summary

This ensures the interface is initialized by the interface driver before it can be used by the rest of the system.

I would suggest rewording the message a bit to something like:

Defer if_up() until after the interface's if_ioctl method is called.

This ensures the interface is initialized by the interface driver before
it can be used by the rest of the system.
