ibmveth: Fix endian issues with MAC addresses
The code to load a MAC address into a u64 for passing to the hypervisor via a register is broken on little endian. Create a helper function called ibmveth_encode_mac_addr which does the right thing in both big and little endian. We were storing the MAC address in a long in struct ibmveth_adapter. It's never used so remove it - we don't need another place in the driver where we create endian issues with MAC addresses.
