Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/2] net/smc: rework peer ID handling

This patch initializes the peer ID to a random instance ID and a zero
MAC address. If a RoCE device is in the host, the MAC address part of
the peer ID is overwritten with the respective address. Also, a function
for checking if the peer ID is valid is added. A peer ID is considered
valid if the MAC address part contains a non-zero MAC address.
