[PATCH 4.9 54/54] net: usb: rtl8150: set random MAC address when set_ethernet_addr() fails

commit f45a4248ea4cc13ed50618ff066849f9587226b2 upstream.

When get_registers() fails in set_ethernet_addr(),the uninitialized
value of node_id gets copied over as the address.
So, check the return value of get_registers().

If get_registers() executed successfully (i.e., it returns
sizeof(node_id)), copy over the MAC address using ether_addr_copy()
(instead of using memcpy()).

Else, if get_registers() failed instead, a randomly generated MAC
address is set as the MAC address instead.
