commit a599b0f54d233d0f63d6be9a2ff0049d24751669

etherdevice.h: Add ether_addr_equal
Add a boolean function to check if 2 ethernet addresses
are the same.
This is to avoid any confusion about compare_ether_addr
returning an unsigned, and not being able to use the
compare_ether_addr function for sorting ala memcmp.
