Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: rx: Neaten ieee80211_deliver_skb, remove
 compare_ether_addr

Remove the unnecessary duplicate test of "if (skb) {"
when !CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS.

Remove now unnecessary __maybe_unused, neaten comment
Remove unnecessary parenthesis around align cast.
Substitute reference to deprecated compare_ether_addr
with ether_addr_equal.
