Bug Description

=== SRU Justification ===
[Impact]
Userspace cannot change tun's carrier state.

[Fix]
Add .ndo_change_carrier callback for tun.

[Test]
User confirm the backport works.

[Regression Potential]
Low. It add a new function and a new case switch for ioctl, but the new
code doesn't affect existing behavior.
=== Original Bug Report ===
This upstream patch is missing: 26d31925cd5e ("tun: implement carrier change").

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-cosmic' to 'verification-done-cosmic'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-cosmic' to 'verification-failed-cosmic'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
