net: fix net device address assign type

Browse Source 
Commit ad72c4a06acc introduced optimization to return from function
quickly if the MAC address is not changing at all. It was reported
that such change causes dev->addr_assign_type to not change
to NET_ADDR_SET from _PERM or _RANDOM.
Restore the old behavior and skip only call to ndo_set_mac_address.

Fixes: ad72c4a06acc ("net: add check for current MAC address in dev_set_mac_address")
