Because a bridge xml doesn't include its own mac item, what it contains
are the slave devices's mac, It causes the get_xmlobj().macaddr can't
return the mac address of bridge.
So while showing host details, The bridge's mac address is displayed as
'Unknown' in tab 'Network Interfaces'. Say virbr0, We known a dummp tap
was already connected to it to maintain a fixed mac address for virbr0,
But its mac is displayed as 'Unknown' in tab 'Network Interfaces'.
The patch fixed the issue by returning mac from backend instead of xml.
