[PATCH] staging: rtl871x_mlme.c: use is_zero_ether_addr() instead of memcmp()

[Wei Yongjun]

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

Using is_zero_ether_addr() instead of directly use
memcmp() to determine if the ethernet address is
all zeros.

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

The content of this patch is OK, but the subject line needs to be "staging: 
r8712u: rtl871x_mlme.c" use ....". Without that "r8712u" addition, searching the 
git log for all changes to r8712u is a lot harder.

With that change: ACKED-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net>
