eth_hw_addr_random() sets address type correctly.
eth_hw_addr_random() is available since Linux v3.4, so
no compat is required.
Also fix the warning:
warning: passing argument 1 of ‘memcpy’ discards ‘const’
qualifier from pointer target type
Variable dev_addr is done const intentionally in Linux v5.17 to
prevent using it directly.
