tg3: use random MAC address when tg3_get_device_address fails

Some of the tg3 NICs we use (BCM57762) reset the SRAM MAC address to the
placeholder address on link flaps, tg3_chip_reset, etc. We've typically
fixed it from userspace, but since e4c00ba7274b ("tg3: replace
placeholder MAC address with device property") was merged, tg3 just
fails probe as we don't have a way to get it through the generic
device_get_mac_address infrastructure as fallback on our systems.

Make the driver assign a random address in this condition instead of
being fatal for probe. Set deferred_probe_reason through dev_warn_probe
if the address isn't yet available from the provider.
