netkit: Fix setting mac address in l2 mode
[ Upstream commit d6fe532b7499e4575f9647879b7a34625817fe7f ]
When running Cilium connectivity test suite with netkit in L2 mode, we
found that it is expected to be able to specify a custom MAC address for
the devices, in particular, cilium-cni obtains the specified MAC address
by querying the endpoint and sets the MAC address of the interface inside
the Pod. Thus, fix the missing support in netkit for L2 mode.
