[PATCH] net: ethtool: avoid allocation failure for dump_regs

[David Arcari]

If the user executes 'ethtool -d' for an interface and the associated
get_regs_len() function returns 0, the user will see a call trace from
the vmalloc() call in ethtool_get_regs().  This patch modifies
ethtool_get_regs() to avoid the call to vmalloc when the size is zero.
