Subject: [PATCH net-next] ethtool: reset #lanes when lanes is omitted

If the number of lanes was forced and then subsequently the user
omits this parameter, the ksettings->lanes is reset. The driver
should then reset the number of lanes to the device's default
for the specified speed.

However, although the ksettings->lanes is set to 0, the mod variable
is not set to true to indicate the driver and userspace should be
notified of the changes.

Fixes: 012ce4dd3102 ("ethtool: Extend link modes settings uAPI with lanes")
