netutils: Use ethtool ioctl to get permanent mac address
Fetching the permanent MAC address of the interface instead of the default one allows to get the right one in case it got changed during setup (likely with a bonding setup). In order to fetch the permanent MAC address of a given interface, one can either use Netlink (either rtnetlink or ethtool), or use ethtool ioctl. The use of ioctl feels simpler and requires no additional dependency. The implementation falls back to older behavior should an error occur.
