nixge: fix mac address error handling again

Browse Source 
commit a68229ca634066975fff6d4780155bd2eb14a82a upstream.

The change to eth_hw_addr_set() caused gcc to correctly spot a
bug that was introduced in an earlier incorrect fix:

In file included from include/linux/etherdevice.h:21,
                 from drivers/net/ethernet/ni/nixge.c:7:
In function '__dev_addr_set',
    inlined from 'eth_hw_addr_set' at include/linux/etherdevice.h:319:2,
    inlined from 'nixge_probe' at drivers/net/ethernet/ni/nixge.c:1286:3:
include/linux/netdevice.h:4648:9: error: 'memcpy' reading 6 bytes from a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overread]
 4648 |         memcpy(dev->dev_addr, addr, len);
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As nixge_get_nvmem_address() can return either NULL or an error
pointer, the NULL check is wrong, and we can end up reading from
ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP), which gcc knows to contain zero readable
bytes.

Make the function always return an error pointer again but fix
the check to match that.
