Applied, but this seriously makes eth_mac_addr() completely useless. Technically, every eth_mac_addr() user in a software/virtual device should behave the way virtio_net does now. It therefore probably makes sense to add a boolean arg which when true elides the netif_running() check then fixup and audit every caller.
