MAC_ADDRESS_EQUAL and __agg_has_partner are not the same thing.

MAC_ADDRESS_EQUAL() is only same with __agg_has_partner() when verifying
agg partner mac addr with null_mac_addr. The description could be more
accurate.

Since you want to replace the null_mac_addr checking for MAC_ADDRESS_EQUAL().
Maybe we can also replace the null_mac_addr checking in
ad_port_selection_logic(). This should be safe as the
aggregator->partner_system and port->partner_oper.system has been compared.
e.g.

                     (aggregator->partner_oper_aggregator_key == port->partner_oper.key)
                    ) &&

+                   ((__agg_has_partner(aggregator) && /* partner answers */
                      !aggregator->is_individual)  /* but is not individual OR */
                    )
                   ) {

With this the null_mac_addr definition could be removed.
