Revert ncsi: Propagate carrier gain/loss events to the NCSI controller 

This reverts commit 3780bb2931.

The cited commit introduced unwanted behavior.

The intent for the commit was to be able to detect carrier loss/gain
for just the NIC connected to the BMC. The unwanted effect is a
carrier loss for auxiliary paths also causes the BMC to lose
carrier. The BMC never regains carrier despite the secondary NIC
regaining a link.

This change, when merged, needs to be backported to stable kernels.
5.4-stable, 5.10-stable, 5.15-stable, 6.1-stable, 6.5-stable
