Subject: [PATCH] net/ncsi: fix locking in Get MAC Address handling

Obtaining RTNL lock in a response handler is not allowed since it runs in an atomic softirq context. Postpone setting the MAC address by adding a dedicated step to the configuration FSM.

Fixes 790071347a0a ("net/ncsi: change from ndo_set_mac_address to dev_set_mac_address")
