ethtool: Allow zero-length register dumps again
commit 67ae7cf1eeda777f79259c4c6cb17a0bd28dee71 upstream.
Some drivers (ab)use the ethtool_ops::get_regs operation to expose
only a hardware revision ID. Commit
a77f5db361ed9953b5b749353ea2c7fed2bf8d93 ('ethtool: Allocate register
dump buffer with vmalloc()') had the side-effect of breaking these, as
vmalloc() returns a null pointer for size=0 whereas kmalloc() did not.
For backward-compatibility, allow zero-length dumps again.
