net: export netif_open for self_test usage

dev_open() already is exported, but drivers which use the netdev
instance lock need to use netif_open() instead. netif_close() is
also already exported [1] so this completes the pairing.

This export is required for the following fbnic self tests to
avoid calling ndo_stop() and ndo_open() in favor of the
more appropriate netif_open() and netif_close() that notifies
any listeners that the interface went down to test and is now
coming back up.
