[PATCH v2] examples/kni: clear warning about discarding const qualifier

[Ke Zhang]

The warning info:
warning: passing argument 1 of ‘memcpy’ discards ‘const’
qualifier from pointer target type

Variable is done const intentionally to prevent using it
directly, using the new helper functions :
'eth_hw_addr_set()' and 'eth_hw_addr_random()'

Fixes: ea6b39b5b847 ("kni: remove ethtool support")
