Add a generic routine to test if possibly unaligned to u16
Ethernet address is a zero address.
If CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set, use
slightly faster generic routine is_zero_ether_addr(),
otherwise use byte accesses.
This is v2 of the original patch:
[PATCH] Modify is_zero_ether_addr() to handle byte-aligned addresses
Per Joe's suggestion -- instead of modifying is_zero_ether_addr() --
add is_zero_ether_addr_unaligned() and use it where needed.
