net: dev: Add NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR
The NETDEV_CHANGEADDR notification is emitted after a device address changes. Extending this message to allow vetoing is certainly possible, but several other notification types have instead adopted a simple two-stage approach: first a "pre" notification is sent to make sure all interested parties are OK with a change that's about to be done. Then the change is done, and afterwards a "post" notification is sent. This dual approach is easier to use: when the change is vetoed, nothing has changed yet, and it's therefore unnecessary to roll anything back. Therefore adopt it for NETDEV_CHANGEADDR as well. To that end, add NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR and an info structure to go along with it.
