r357614 added CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT to make it easier to find nodes that are
still not MPSAFE (or already are but aren’t properly marked). Use it in
preparation for a general review of all nodes.
This is non-functional change that adds annotations to SYSCTL_NODE and
SYSCTL_PROC nodes using one of the soon-to-be-required flags.

Some places in network code may need to verify that an ethernet address
is not the 'zero' address. Provide a standard macro ETHER_IS_ZERO for
this purpose, similar to the ETHER_IS_BROADCAST macro already available.
This patch also removes previous ETHER_IS_ZERO definitions in several
USB ethernet drivers, in favor of this centrally-located macro.

RTL8152 (chip version URE_CHIP_VER_4C10) doesn't
have hardwired MAC address, in other words, it is all zeros.
This commit fixes it by setting random MAC address
when MAC address is all zeros.

IPv4/IPv6 checksum offloading and VLAN tag insertion/stripping.
Since uether doesn't provide a way to announce driver specific offload
capabilities to upper stack, checksum offloading support needs more work
and will be done in the future.
Special thanks to Hayes Wang from RealTek who gave input.
