Paul Fertser 8549695535 net/ncsi: use dev_set_mac_address() for Get MC MAC Address handling 
[ Upstream commit 05d91cdb1f ]

Copy of the rationale from 790071347a:

Change ndo_set_mac_address to dev_set_mac_address because
dev_set_mac_address provides a way to notify network layer about MAC
change. In other case, services may not aware about MAC change and keep
using old one which set from network adapter driver.

As example, DHCP client from systemd do not update MAC address without
notification from net subsystem which leads to the problem with acquiring
the right address from DHCP server.

Since dev_set_mac_address requires RTNL lock the operation can not be
performed directly in the response handler, see
9e2bbab94b.

The way of selecting the first suitable MAC address from the list is
changed, instead of having the driver check it this patch just assumes
any valid MAC should be good.

Fixes: b8291cf3d1 ("net/ncsi: Add NC-SI 1.2 Get MC MAC Address command")

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
