commit d746ca9561440685edb62614d1bcbbc27ff50e66 upstream.
The code to load a MAC address into a u64 for passing to the
hypervisor via a register is broken on little endian.
Create a helper function called ibmveth_encode_mac_addr
which does the right thing in both big and little endian.
We were storing the MAC address in a long in struct ibmveth_adapter.
It's never used so remove it - we don't need another place in the
driver where we create endian issues with MAC addresses.

The hypervisor is big endian, so little endian kernel builds need
to byteswap.

Move the IBM drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/ibm/ and make the
necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.
- Renamed ibm_new_emac to emac
- Cleaned up Makefile and Kconfig options which referred to
IBM_NEW_EMAC to IBM_EMAC
- ibmlana driver is a National Semiconductor SONIC driver so
it was not moved
