net: Add non-RCU dev_getbyhwaddr() helper

[ Upstream commit 4b5a28b38c4a0106c64416a1b2042405166b26ce ]

Add dedicated helper for finding devices by hardware address when
holding rtnl_lock, similar to existing dev_getbyhwaddr_rcu(). This prevents
PROVE_LOCKING warnings when rtnl_lock is held but RCU read lock is not.

Extract common address comparison logic into dev_addr_cmp().

The context about this change could be found in the following
