[Devel] [PATCH] Skip down interfaces

[Dan Smith]

This makes the netns checkpoint code skip interfaces that are not up.
Later, we want to make it possible to checkpoint down interfaces with
a flag, but for now this helps prevent people from getting stuck on
stock kernels with various unsupported and persistent virtual interfaces,
such as tunnel devices.
