[PATCH net-next v2 2/3] net: dev: revert the mac address when notifier failed

[Ding Tianhong <dingtianhong@huawei.com>]

When set a new mac address to a netdev, the dev should propagate
to the upperdev or lowerdev and make sure the new mac address could
work well with other devs, otherwise the new mac address shouldn't
be set and revert the old mac address.
