stable inclusion from linux-4.19.223 commit 4e4591490f8a930e11131514db4cce4201ffc8a5
--------------------------------
[ Upstream commit 1c15b05baea71a5ff98235783e3e4ad227760876 ]
When 802.3ad bond mode is configured the ad_actor_system option is set to "00:00:00:00:00:00". But when trying to set the all-zeroes MAC as actors' system address it was failing with EINVAL.
An all-zeroes ethernet address is valid, only multicast addresses are not valid values.
