[Bridge] [PATCH] net: bridge: Slightly optimize br_stp_change_bridge_id()
ether_addr_equal_64bits() can easy be used in place of ether_addr_equal()
here.
Padding in the 'net_bridge_port' structure is already there because it
is a
huge structure and the required fields are not at the end.
'oldaddr' is local to the function. So add the required padding
explicitly and simplify its definition.

This patch is more a POC for me.
I'm unsure that using ether_addr_equal_64bits() is really useful. The
speedup should be mostly un-noticeable.
To make sure that we have the required padding, we either need to waste
some space or rely on the fact that the address is embedded in a large
enough structure. (which is the case here)
So, it looks fragile to me and not future-proof.
Feed-back highly appreciated to see if such patches are welcome and if I
should spend some time on it.
