mac80211: duplicate station's MAC address for hash table
Currently, the station hash table lookup (or iteration) must access two cachelines for each station - the one with the hash table node, and the one with the MAC address. Duplicate the MAC address next to the hash node to get rid of this. Since the MAC address is static there's no consistency problem introduced by this.
