[PATCH] net: apple: bmac: Fix build since dev_addr constification

Since commit adeef3e32146 ("net: constify netdev->dev_addr") the bmac
driver no longer builds with the following errors (pmac32_defconfig):

  linux/drivers/net/ethernet/apple/bmac.c: In function ‘bmac_probe’:
  linux/drivers/net/ethernet/apple/bmac.c:1287:20: error: assignment of read-only location ‘*(dev->dev_addr + (sizetype)j)’
   1287 |   dev->dev_addr[j] = rev ? bitrev8(addr[j]): addr[j];
        |                    ^

Fix it by making the modifications to a local macaddr variable and then
passing that to eth_hw_addr_set().

We don't use the existing addr variable because the bitrev8() would
mutate it, but it is already used unreversed later in the function.
