device: don't set a fake permanent hardware address
Software devices don't have a permanent hardware address and thus it
doesn't make sense to enforce the 'fake' (generated) permanent one
when cloned-mac-address=permanent. Also, setting the fake permanent
address on bond devices, prevents them from inheriting the first slave
hardware address, so let's just skip the setting of MAC when
cloned-mac-address=permanent and there is no real permanent address.
