Revert "s390/qeth: use Read device to query hypervisor for MAC"
This reverts commit b7493e91. On its own, querying RDEV for a MAC address works fine. But when upgrading from a qeth that previously queried DDEV on a z/VM NIC (ie. any kernel with commit ec61bd2f), the RDEV query now returns a _different_ MAC address than the DDEV query. If the NIC is configured with MACPROTECT, z/VM apparently requires us to use the MAC that was initially returned (on DDEV) and registered. So after upgrading to a kernel that uses RDEV, the SETVMAC registration cmd for the new MAC address fails and we end up with a non-operabel interface. To avoid regressions on upgrade, switch back to using DDEV for the MAC address query. The downgrade path (first RDEV, later DDEV) is fine, in this case both queries return the same MAC address.
