[NET]: Add is_multicast_ether_addr() in include/linux/etherdevice.h

Browse Source 
This patch adds is_multicast_ether_addr() to go along with
is_valid_ether_addr() and friends. It then changes
is_valid_ether_addr() to use the new macro, and fixes up the comment
on that function to move implementation details out of the API doco.
