The address.mac function doesn't return the mac address of the iface if it doesn't have an ip address.

I only test it under linux, but i can see in the source code the getMAC function uses the ip address of the interface to match the interface.
I don't really understand why this check is done since multiple interface can't have the same name.
What happens if an interface have secondaries ip address ?
ifconfig IFACE or ip link show IFACE returns the configuration of the named interface only.

This seems to be related to the refactoring done in PR node-modules#27 where the `addr.mac && ` check got removed:
```diff
-  describe('address()', function () {
-    it('should return first ethernet addrs', function (done) {
-      address(function (err, addr) {
-        should.not.exists(err);
-        addr.should.have.keys('ip', 'ipv6', 'mac');
-        addr.mac && addr.mac.should.match(/^(?:[a-z0-9]{2}\:){5}[a-z0-9]{2}$/i);
-        addr.ip && addr.ip.should.match(/^\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+$/);
+  describe('address()', () => {
+    it('should return first ethernet addrs', done => {
+      address((err, addr) => {
+        assert(!err);
+        assert.deepStrictEqual(Object.keys(addr), [ 'ip', 'ipv6', 'mac' ]);
+        assert.match(addr.mac, /^(?:[a-z0-9]{2}\:){5}[a-z0-9]{2}$/i);
+        assert.match(addr.ip, /^\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+$/);
         done();
```

It's propably happening only on systems where the lo interface is being used,
due to node-modules@c316a04
and node-modules#6

We're using 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.1.1 on Ubuntu's autopkgtest CI.
