[ Upstream commit d709f178abca22a4d3642513df29afe4323a594b ]
The igb driver incorrectly skips the link test when the network interface is admin down (if_running == false), causing the test to always report PASS regardless of the actual physical link state.
This behavior is inconsistent with other drivers (e.g. i40e, ice, ixgbe, etc.) which correctly test the physical link state regardless of admin state. Remove the if_running check to ensure link test always reflects the physical link state.
