check_dhcp: Don't misinterpret the "siaddr" field

RFC 2131 (2.) says: "DHCP clarifies the interpretation of the 'siaddr'
field as the address of the server to use in the next step of the
client's bootstrap process."  So, we shouldn't interpret this field as
the DHCP server's own address.  (#3503921 - Jason Ellison)
