Subject: [PATCH net] net: ethtool: Don't call .cleanup_data when prepare_data fails

There's a consistent pattern where the .cleanup_data() callback is
called when .prepare_data() fails, when it should really be called to
clean after a successfull .prepare_data() as per the documentation.

Rewrite the error-handling paths to make sure we don't cleanup
un-prepared data.

Fixes: 728480f12442 ("ethtool: default handlers for GET requests")
