netdev-linux: Improve netdev_linux_set_etheraddr().
		
Fixes a bug whereby netdev_linux_set_etheraddr() would update the cached
Ethernet address but not mark it valid.  (This potentially wasted a system
call later but wasn't harmful.)

As an added optimization, don't set the Ethernet address at all if the
new address is the same as the current address.
