The interface may well be configured with both IPv4 & IPv6 addresses
depending on the XML config for the guest....

...so this is wrong because it doesn't take account of the fact that we may
have configured addresses just a few lines earlier in this very same function

I'm fine with not setting the link state to online, but *only* if we do not
have any addresses configured in the XML for that NIC.
