net: mctp: improvements for NULL-EID addressing
Currently, our focus for the MCTP routing implementation has been for
MCTP bus-owner devices. In this case, we will generally have an EID
assigned during local transmit, and have routes established before
expecting to receive.
We also want to handle non-bus-owner cases, where:
- we may need to send control protocol messages (like Discovery Notify)
before any local addresses have been assigned, particularly as part
of acquiring a local address assignment; and
- we will likely want to receive incoming messages before we have
routing established.
This series improves handling for these cases, by handling NULL EIDs
as source / destination addresses where possible.
