NETDEV_CHANGE can get called for multiple trivial reasons, if the timer
is already running we'll mess with the spacing of the frames, no?
If there is a path where the device may get activated without the
notifier firing - maybe we can check carrier there and schedule the
timer?
Also sounds like a bug fix, so please add a Fixes tag.
