Subject: [PATCH 1/2] veth: Initialize dev->perm_addr

Set the perm_addr of veth devices to whatever MAC has been assigned to
the device. Otherwise, it remains all zero, with the consequence that
ipv6_generate_stable_address() (which is used if the sysctl
net.ipv6.conf.DEV.addr_gen_mode is set to 2 or 3) assigns every veth
interface on a host the same link-local address.

The new behaviour matches that of several other virtual interface types
(such as gre), and as far as I can tell, perm_addr isn't used by any
other code sites that are relevant to veth.
