Provide infrastructure for PHY drivers to report the cable test
results. A netlink skb is associated to the phydev. Helpers will be
added which can add results to this skb. Once the test has finished
the results are sent to user space.
When netlink ethtool is not part of the kernel configuration stubs are
provided. It is also impossible to trigger a cable test, so the error
code returned by the alloc function is of no consequence.
v2:
Include the status complete in the netlink notification message
v4:
Replace -EINVAL with -EMSGSIZE

Add new ethtool netlink calls to trigger the starting of a PHY cable
test.
Add Kconfig'ury to ETHTOOL_NETLINK so that PHYLIB is not a module when
ETHTOOL_NETLINK is builtin, which would result in kernel linking errors.
v2:
Remove unwanted white space change
Remove ethnl_cable_test_act_ops and use doit handler
Rename cable_test_set_policy cable_test_act_policy
Remove ETHTOOL_MSG_CABLE_TEST_ACT_REPLY
v3:
Remove ETHTOOL_MSG_CABLE_TEST_ACT_REPLY from documentation
Remove unused cable_test_get_policy
Add Reviewed-by tags
v4:
Remove unwanted blank line
