net: replace dev_addr_sem with netdev instance lock
Lockdep reports possible circular dependency in [0]. Instead of
fixing the ordering, replace global dev_addr_sem with netdev
instance lock. Most of the paths that set/get mac are RTNL
protected. Two places where it's not, convert to explicit
locking:
- sysfs address_show
- dev_get_mac_address via dev_ioctl
