ibmveth: Fix h_free_logical_lan error on pool resize

When attempting to activate additional rx buffer pools on an ibmveth interface that
was not yet up, the error below was seen. The patch fixes this by only closing
and opening the interface to activate the resize if the interface is already
opened.
