3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Michal Kazior <michal.kaz...@tieto.com>
commit f8cdddb8d61d16a156229f0910f7ecfc7a82c003 upstream.
Don't validate interface combinations on a stopped
interface. Otherwise we might end up being able to
create a new interface with a certain type, but
won't be able to change an existing interface
into that type.
This also skips some other functions when
interface is stopped and changing interface type.
