Hey Stephen.

null_mac_addr is used as a struct and should not be changed
to is_zero_ether_addr.
Maybe the uses could be changed to a memset, but I seem to
recall the code gets bigger.

drivers/net/bonding/bond_3ad.c:1637:		aggregator->partner_system = null_mac_addr;
drivers/net/bonding/bond_3ad.c:1660:		aggregator->aggregator_mac_address = null_mac_addr;
drivers/net/bonding/bond_3ad.c:1696:		port->actor_system = null_mac_addr;
