Revert "r8169: mac address change support"
This reverts commit a2b98a697fa4e7564f78905b83db122824916cf9.
As per Guennadi Liakhovetski, the mac address change support code breaks
some normal uses (_without_ any address changes), and until it's all
sorted out, we're better off without it.
Says Francois:
"Go revert it.
Despite what I claimed, I can not find a third-party confirmation by
email that it works elsewhere.
It would probably be enough to remove the call to
__rtl8169_set_mac_addr() in rtl8169_hw_start() though."
