Alexey Dobriyan 4940fc889e 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.
