ath5k: use compare_ether_addr on MAC addresses instead of memcmp
Following Felix's recent patchset as an example I have replaced memcmp with compare_ether_addr. "Because of the constant size and guaranteed 16 bit alignment, the inline compare_ether_addr function is much cheaper than calling memcmp."
