Subject: [PATCH] net: explicit cast of multicast bit clearing

[ upstream commit beb4076567441bb6f936f99f442c2a8de911bb3c ]

GCC 8.1 warned:

rte_ether.h:213:13:
warning: conversion from 'int' to 'uint8_t'
{aka 'unsigned char'} may change value [-Wconversion]
  addr[0] &= ~ETHER_GROUP_ADDR;

Fixes: 7ef007291004 ("ethdev: random MAC address")
