s390/qeth: avoid using is_multicast_ether_addr_64bits on (u8 *)[6]
*ether_addr*_64bits functions have been introduced to optimize performance critical paths, which access 6-byte ethernet address as u64 value to get "nice" assembly. A harmless hack works nicely on ethernet addresses shoved into a structure or a larger buffer, until busted by Kasan on smth like plain (u8 *)[6]. qeth_l2_set_mac_address calls qeth_l2_remove_mac passing u8 old_addr[ETH_ALEN] as an argument. Adding/removing macs for an ethernet adapter is not that performance critical. Moreover is_multicast_ether_addr_64bits itself on s390 is not faster than is_multicast_ether_addr: is_multicast_ether_addr(%r2) -> %r2 llc %r2,0(%r2) risbg %r2,%r2,63,191,0 is_multicast_ether_addr_64bits(%r2) -> %r2 llgc %r2,0(%r2) risbg %r2,%r2,63,191,0 So, let's just use is_multicast_ether_addr instead of is_multicast_ether_addr_64bits.
