staging: r8712u: use is_zero_ether_addr() instead of memcmp() 

Author: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@trendmicro.com.cn>

Using is_zero_ether_addr() instead of directly use
memcmp(addr, "\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00", ETH_ALEN)
to determine if the ethernet address is all zeros.

spatch with a semantic match is used to found this problem.
