ethtool: Call ethtool's get/set_settings callbacks with cleaned data

Browse Source 
This makes sure that when a driver calls the ethtool's
get/set_settings() callback of another driver, the data passed to it
is clean. This guarantees that speed_hi will be zeroed correctly if
the called callback doesn't explicitely set it: we are sure we don't
get a corrupted speed from the underlying driver. We also take care of
setting the cmd field appropriately (ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET).

This applies to dev_ethtool_get_settings(), which now makes sure it
sets up that ethtool command parameter correctly before passing it to
drivers. This also means that whoever calls dev_ethtool_get_settings()
does not have to clean the ethtool command parameter. This function
also becomes an exported symbol instead of an inline.

All drivers visible to make allyesconfig under x86_64 have been
updated.
