A netdevice may be marked as detached because the parent is
runtime-suspended and not accessible whilst interface or link is down.
An example are PCI network devices that go into PCI D3hot, see e.g.
__igc_shutdown() or rtl8169_net_suspend().
If netdevice is down and marked as detached we can only open it if
we runtime-resume it before __dev_open() calls netif_device_present().

Therefore, if netdevice is detached, try to runtime-resume the parent
and only return with an error if it's still detached.
