Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] Staging: rtl8712: Use ether_addr_equal() over memcmp()

This patch is to the rtl871x_ioctl_linux.c file that fixes up following
warning reported by checkpatch.pl :

-Prefer ether_addr_equal() or ether_addr_equal_unaligned() over memcmp()

bssid and pnetwork->network.MacAddress both are 6 byte
array which aligned with u16
