ethtool: provide link mode information with LINKMODES_GET request
Implement LINKMODES_GET netlink request to get link modes related
information provided by ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS and ETHTOOL_GSET ioctl
commands.
This request provides supported, advertised and peer advertised link modes,
autonegotiation flag, speed and duplex.
LINKMODES_GET request can be used with NLM_F_DUMP (without device
identification) to request the information for all devices in current
network namespace providing the data.
