Subject: net: ethtool: don't ignore return from driver get_fecparam method
Patch-mainline: v4.16-rc5
Git-commit: a6d50512b4d86ecd9f5952525e454583be1c3b14
References: bsc#1046540 FATE#322930

If ethtool_ops->get_fecparam returns an error, pass that error on to the
 user, rather than ignoring it.

Fixes: 1a5f3da20bd9 ("net: ethtool: add support for forward error correction modes")
