Subject: [PATCH 3/4] ethtool: can't set combined and tx/rx channel counts at the same time

Based on reading current implementations of {GS}CHANNELS, most drivers
either support only combined counts or only separate counts. At least
one driver supported setting combined or separate channels. No driver
supported combined and separate channels setting at the same time, and
this patch adds a sanity check to prevent such requests. I am not 100%
sure if this is correct as I was not able to find documentation and
I think it currently depended on driver implementation.
