[pve-devel] [PATCH container] net: do not force network interface down if `link_down` is to 0

[Christoph Heiss <c.heiss@proxmox.com>]

Reported in the forum [0].

Currently, the (host) interface is always forced down if the property is
set. Check the actual (boolean) value and honor the users request if set
to `0` aka. off.
