PATCH v2 5/6 pppoe: slight optimization of addr compare

Joe Perches add ether_addr_equal_unaligned to test if possibly unaligned to u16 Ethernet addresses are equal.

If CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set, this uses the slightly faster generic routine ether_addr_equal, otherwise this uses memcmp.
