    net: dev_addr_init() fix
    
    commit f001fde5eadd915f4858d22ed70d7040f48767cf
    (net: introduce a list of device addresses dev_addr_list (v6))
    added one regression Vegard Nossum found in its testings.
    
    With kmemcheck help, Vegard found some uninitialized memory
    was read and reported to user, potentialy leaking kernel data.
    ( thread can be found on http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/30/177 )
    
    dev_addr_init() incorrectly uses sizeof() operator. We were
    initializing one byte instead of MAX_ADDR_LEN bytes.
