net: add mac_pton() for parsing MAC address
mac_pton() parses MAC address in form XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX and only in that form.
mac_pton() doesn't dirty result until it's sure string representation is valid.
mac_pton() doesn't care about characters _after_ last octet,
it's up to caller to deal with it.
mac_pton() diverges from 0/-E return value convention.
Target usage:
if (!mac_pton(str, whatever->mac))
return -EINVAL;
/* ->mac being u8 [ETH_ALEN] is filled at this point. */
/* optionally check str[3 * ETH_ALEN - 1] for termination */
Use mac_pton() in pktgen and netconsole for start.
