Use 'is_zero_ether_addr' to identify an empty ethernet address, intead
of using 'memcpy' directly.

I am now just going to ignore all patch submissions with this line in it
based on a total lack of responses by the developers using it.  See
https://lore.kernel.org/r/Yr7DQJTPrSWTOa0c@kroah.com for why.

And now just ignore patches from your domain, see:
	https://lore.kernel.org/r/YsLq5vXtJgLWCqqz@kroah.com
for why (patches sent totally ignoring previous requests.)

Please work with the open source developers in your company to fix this
broken process, as it is causing more problems for me than it is worth.
