[ Upstream commit 7c9864bb ] If the accelerated networking SRIOV VF device has lost carrier use the synthetic network device which is available as backup path. This is a rare case since if VF link goes down, normally the VMBus device will also loose external connectivity as well. But if the communication is between two VM's on the same host the VMBus device will still work.
