Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: rtl8192e: use is_zero_ether_addr() instead of memcmp()

From: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@...ndmicro.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.
