[PATCH] firewire: core: improve check for local node

[Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>]

My recently added test for a device being local in fw-cdev.c got it
slightly wrong:  Comparisons of node IDs are only valid if the
generation is current, which I forgot to check.  Better would be a
direct comparison of fw_node pointers but this only works in a current
generation too.

The best way is to cache the property of being local in an fw_device
flag when the device is created.  This even makes the code more readable
and, so I'm told, will be good to have for an RFC-2734 driver too.
