[PATCH v5] staging: rtl8723bs: use ether_addr_copy() for MAC address copying

[Dharanitharan R]

Replaces multiple memcpy() calls with ether_addr_copy() for copying
MAC/Ethernet addresses in rtl8723bs. This improves readability and
aligns with Linux kernel best practices for handling Ethernet addresses.

Fixes the following checkpatch.pl warning:
"Use ether_addr_copy() instead of memcpy() for Ethernet addresses."

These updates enhance code clarity and maintain consistency with
network driver conventions.
