[PATCH v2 net-next] ethtool: ignore unused/unreliable fields in set_eee op

[Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@gmail.com>]

This function is used with the set_eee() ethtool operation. Certain
fields of struct ethtool_keee() are relevant only for the get_eee()
operation. In addition, in case of the ioctl interface, we have no
guarantee that userspace sends sane values in struct ethtool_eee.
Therefore explicitly ignore all fields not needed for set_eee().
This protects from drivers trying to use unchecked and unreliable
data, relying on specific userspace behavior.

Note: Such unsafe driver behavior has been found and fixed in the
tg3 driver.
