Merge branch 'ethtool-netlink-interface-part-2'


Michal Kubecek says:

====================
ethtool netlink interface, part 2

This shorter series adds support for getting and setting of wake-on-lan
settings and message mask (originally message level). Together with the
code already in net-next, this will allow full implementation of
"ethtool <dev>" and "ethtool -s <dev> ...".

Older versions of the ethtool netlink series allowed getting WoL settings
by unprivileged users and only filtered out the password but this was
a source of controversy so for now, ETHTOOL_MSG_WOL_GET request always
requires CAP_NET_ADMIN as ETHTOOL_GWOL ioctl request does.
