rndis_host: enable the bogus MAC fixup for ZTE devices from cdc_ether
Certain ZTE modems, namely: MF823. MF831, MF910, built-in modem from MF286R, expose both CDC-ECM and RNDIS network interfaces. They have a trait of ignoring the locally-administered MAC address configured on the interface both in CDC-ECM and RNDIS part, and this leads to dropping of incoming traffic by the host. However, the workaround was only present in CDC-ECM, and MF286R explicitly requires it in RNDIS mode. Re-use the workaround in rndis_host as well, to fix operation of MF286R module, some versions of which expose only the RNDIS interface. Do so by introducing new flag, RNDIS_DRIVER_DATA_DST_MAC_FIXUP, and testing for it in rndis_rx_fixup. This is required, as RNDIS uses frame batching, and all of the packets inside the batch need the fixup. This might introduce a performance penalty, because test is done for every returned Ethernet frame. Apply the workaround to both "flavors" of RNDIS interfaces, as older ZTE modems, like MF823 found in the wild, report the USB_CLASS_COMM class interfaces, while MF286R reports USB_CLASS_WIRELESS_CONTROLLER.
