mac80211: simplify zero address checks

The libertas_tf special code for zero addresses
is a bit too complex, it compares against a stack
value instead of using is_zero_ether_addr() and
tries to update all interfaces even if just the
one that's being brought up needs to be changed.
Additionally, the repeated check for a valid MAC
address need only be done if we actually changed
it on the fly.
