net/ethernet: remove useless is_valid_ether_addr from drivers ndo_open
If ndo_validate_addr is set to the generic eth_validate_addr
function there is no point in calling is_valid_ether_addr
from driver ndo_open if ndo_open is not used elsewhere in
the driver.
With this change is_valid_ether_addr will be called from the
generic eth_validate_addr function. So there should be no change
in the actual behavior.
