Subject: [PATCH net] bonding: fix ad_actor_system option setting to default

When 802.3ad bond mode is configured the ad_actor_system option is set
to "00:00:00:00:00:00". But when trying to set the default value
manually it was failing with EINVAL.

A zero ethernet address is valid, only multicast addresses are not valid
values.
