Use possibly more efficient ether_addr_equal
to instead of memcmp.

This may be a distinction without difference, but
is a CAIF seghead also an ethernet address?

NO,this is a coincidence, the CAIF seghead is 6 bytes too,
So from a logical point of view, maybe a new function with
suitable name will be more reasonable here, but the name of
ether_addr_equal is not correctly here.:)

thanks
