commit 8a7d12d674ac ("net: usb: usbnet: fix name regression") assumed that local addresses always came from the kernel, but some devices hand out local mac addresses so we ended up with point-to-point devices with a mac set by the driver, renaming to eth%d when they used to be named usb%d.
Userspace should not rely on device name, but for the sake of stability restore the local mac address check portion of the naming exception: point to point devices which either have no mac set by the driver or have a local mac handed out by the driver will keep the usb%d name.
