mac80211: use fixed broadcast address

The netdev broadcast address cannot change from
all-ones so there's no need to use it; we can
instead hard-code it. Since we already have an
instance in tkip.c, which will be shared if it
is marked static const, doing this reduces text
size at no data/bss cost.

The real motivation for this is, of course, the
desire to get rid of almost all uses of netdevs
in mac80211 so that auditing their use becomes
easier.
