Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 3/6] fddi: slight optimization of addr compare

Joe Perches add ether_addr_equal_unaligned to test if
possibly unaligned to u16 Ethernet addresses are equal.

If CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set, this uses
the slightly faster generic routine ether_addr_equal,
otherwise this uses memcmp, and FDDI_K_ALEN is same with
ETH_ALEN.
