octeon_ep: ensure get mac address successfully before eth_hw_addr_set()
[ Upstream commit 848ffce2f0c93f3481052340a919123a21f808b6 ]
octep_get_mac_addr() can fail because send mbox message failed. If this
happens, octep_dev->mac_addr will be zero. It should not continue to
initialize. Add exception handling for octep_get_mac_addr() to fix it.
