net: dns: fix for DNS queries sent to the wrong MAC address
When a DNS query is sent out, the ethernet packet can get directed to
the MAC address of a server that was communicated to before. This is
wrong when the previously stored MAC address corresponds to a different
server's IP address, i.e. when the IP address of the previous and the
current communication are different.
The error can get reproduced by running a sequence of e.g. a TFTP
download and a DNS query, where the TFTP and DNS servers reside on
individual machines.
The fix is to clear the server's MAC address that might be left from a
previous operation, and to fetch the peer's MAC address in a new ARP
lookup, before the DNS query is sent. This is the approach taken in
other network services, like 8e52533d1095 ("net: tftpsrv: Get correct
client MAC address").
