[PATCH 5.10 01/86] etherdevice: Adjust ether_addr* prototypes to silence -Wstringop-overead

commit 2618a0dae09ef37728dab89ff60418cbe25ae6bd upstream.

With GCC 12, -Wstringop-overread was warning about an implicit cast from
char[6] to char[8]. However, the extra 2 bytes are always thrown away,
alignment doesn't matter, and the risk of hitting the edge of unallocated
memory has been accepted, so this prototype can just be converted to a
regular char *. Silences:

net/core/dev.c: In function ‘bpf_prog_run_generic_xdp’: net/core/dev.c:4618:21: warning: ‘ether_addr_equal_64bits’ reading 8 bytes from a region of size 6 [-Wstringop-overread]
4618 | orig_host = ether_addr_equal_64bits(eth->h_dest, > skb->dev->dev_addr);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
