ethernet: tg3: remove direct netdev->dev_addr writes
tg3 does various forms of direct writes to netdev->dev_addr. Use a local buffer. Make sure local buffer is aligned since eth_platform_get_mac_address() may call ether_addr_copy(). tg3_get_device_address() returns whenever it finds a method that found a valid address. Instead of modifying all the exit points pass the buffer from the outside and commit the address in the caller. Constify the argument of the set addr helper.
