Subject: [PATCH 4.14 200/496] net: ethtool: dont ignore return from driver get_fecparam method

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Edward Cree <ecree@...arflare.com>

[ Upstream commit a6d50512b4d86ecd9f5952525e454583be1c3b14 ]

If ethtool_ops->get_fecparam returns an error, pass that error on to the
 user, rather than ignoring it.

Fixes: 1a5f3da20bd9 ("net: ethtool: add support for forward error correction modes")
