"ip link" always shows state UNKNOWN => Fixed in SVN

Description
Hello,
Both host-only vboxnet in host machine and inside the VM shows link state as UNKNOWN:
5: vboxnet0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 0a:00:27:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
However, the connection is working just fine. The state UNKNOWN is breaking OpenSuSE KIWI image that waits for "state UP" before launching dhcp.

Please reopen if still relevant with VBox 5.0.8.

Should be fixed in the coming
5.0.8. Host-only interfaces will now report operstateUPonly when there are any VMs (orVBoxNetDHCP) attached.
