[PATCH net-next] ethtool: do not use regs->len after ops->get_regs

[Vivien Didelot]

The kernel allocates a buffer of size ops->get_regs_len(), and pass
it to the kernel driver via ops->get_regs() for filling.

There is no restriction about what the kernel drivers can or cannot
do with the regs->len member. Drivers usually ignore it or set
the same size again. However, ethtool_get_regs() must not use this
value when copying the buffer back to the user, because userspace may
have allocated a smaller buffer. For instance ethtool does that when
dumping the raw registers directly into a fixed-size file.

Software may still make use of the regs->len value updated by the
kernel driver, but ethtool_get_regs() must use the original regs->len
given by userspace, up to ops->get_regs_len(), when copying the buffer.

Also no need to check regbuf twice.
