net: ti: am65-cpsw-nuss: avoid errors due to imbalanced start()/stop()

The eth-uclass state machine doesn't prevent imbalanced start()/stop()
calls - to the contrary, it even provides eth_init_state_only() and
eth_halt_state_only() functions that change the state without any calls
into the driver. This means that the driver must be robust against
duplicate start() and stop() calls as well as send/recv calls while the
interface is down.

We decide not to print error messages but just to return an error in the
latter case, as trying to send packets on a disabled interface commonly
happens when the netconsole is still active after the Ethernet has been
halted during bootm.
