Subject: kni: update kernel API to set random MAC address

Previously used 'random_ether_addr()' API is removed in upstream kernel
with commit
Commit ba530fea8ca1 ("ethernet: remove random_ether_addr()")

Replacement API 'eth_random_addr()' is around since v3.6 [1], so
simply switching to this API without any version checks.
