Subject: [patch net-next v2] ethtool: cabletest: fix wrong conditional check

In ethnl_act_cable_test_tdr, phydev is tested for the condition of being
null or an error by checking IS_ERR_OR_NULL, however the result is being
negated and lets a null phydev go through. Simply removing the logical
NOT on the conditional suffices.
