Andrew noticed that some handlers for *_SET commands leak a netdev
reference if required ethtool_ops callbacks do not exist. One of them is
ethnl_set_privflags(), a simple reproducer would be e.g.
ip link add veth1 type veth peer name veth2
ethtool --set-priv-flags veth1 foo on
ip link del veth1
Make sure dev_put() is called when ethtool_ops check fails.

Send ETHTOOL_MSG_PRIVFLAGS_NTF notification whenever private flags of
a network device are modified using ETHTOOL_MSG_PRIVFLAGS_SET netlink
message or ETHTOOL_SPFLAGS ioctl request.

Implement PRIVFLAGS_SET netlink request to set private flags of a network
device. These are traditionally set with ETHTOOL_SPFLAGS ioctl request.

Implement PRIVFLAGS_GET request to get private flags for a network device.
These are traditionally available via ETHTOOL_GPFLAGS ioctl request.
