I don't think this can happen. The corresponding NETDEV_UP is invoked
through address validator chain, so failures to create a RIF would be
vetoed. Furthermore the DOWN event itself is invoked by
mlxsw_sp_inetaddr_event(), where the invocation is contingent on
mlxsw_sp_rif_should_config(). That would be false if there's no RIF.
