It can be used to enable the loopback interface, typically after calling
disable_network().

Also correct a typo in a debug message.

PATCHv2:
* Renamed loopback_up() to enable_loopback_networking().
* Do not call enable_loopback_networking() from disable_network().
* Corrected a typo in a debug message.
