s390/qeth: simplify L3 dev_id logic
The logic that deals with errors from qeth_l3_get_unique_id() is quite complex: it sets card->unique_id to 0xfffe, additionally flags it as UNIQUE_ID_NOT_BY_CARD and later takes this flag as cue to not propagate card->unique_id to dev->dev_id. With dev->dev_id thus holding 0, addrconf_ifid_eui48() applies its default behaviour. Get rid of all the special bit masks, and just return the old uid in case of an error. For the vast majority of cases this will be 0 (and so we still get the desired default behaviour) - with the rare exception where qeth_l3_get_unique_id() might have been called earlier but the initialization then failed at a later point.
