Subject: [PATCH ethtool] ethtool: do_sset return correct value on fail

From: Roy Novich <royno@...dia.com>

The return value for do_sset was constant and returned 0.
This value is misleading when returned on operation failure.
Changed return value to the correct function err status.

Fixes: 32c8037055f5 ("Initial import of ethtool version 3 + a few patches.")
