Subject: [ETH]: Combine format_addr() with print_mac().

[ETH]: Combine format_addr() with print_mac().

print_mac() used by most net drivers and format_addr() used by
net-sysfs.c are very similar and they can be integrated.

format_addr() is also identically redefined in the qla4xxx iscsi
driver.

Export a new function format_mac_addr() to be used by net-sysfs,
qla4xxx and others in the future.  Both print_mac() and
format_mac_addr() call _format_mac_addr() to do the formatting.
