Subject: [PATCH net-next] ethtool: mm: fix get_mm() return code not propagating to user space

If ops->get_mm() returns a non-zero error code, we goto out_complete,
but there, we return 0. Fix that to propagate the "ret" variable to the
caller. If ops->get_mm() succeeds, it will always return 0.

Fixes: 2b30f8291a30 ("net: ethtool: add support for MAC Merge layer")
