[hermon] Use Ethernet MAC as eIPoIB local EMAC
The eIPoIB local Ethernet MAC is currently constructed from the port
GUID. Given a base GUID/MAC value of N, Mellanox seems to populate:
Node GUID: N + 0
Port 1 GUID: N + 1
Port 2 GUID: N + 2
and
Port 1 MAC: N + 0
Port 2 MAC: N + 1
This causes a duplicate local MAC address when port 1 is configured as
Infiniband and port 2 as Ethernet, since both will derive their MAC
address as (N + 1).
Fix by using the port's Ethernet MAC as the eIPoIB local EMAC. This
is a behavioural change that could potentially break configurations
that rely on the local EMAC value, such as a DHCP server relying on
the chaddr field for DHCP reservations.
