[PATCH 4.9 61/76] net: ethtool: not call vzalloc for zero sized memory request

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Li RongQing <lirongqing@baidu.com>

[ Upstream commit 3d8830266ffc28c16032b859e38a0252e014b631 ]

NULL or ZERO_SIZE_PTR will be returned for zero sized memory
request, and derefencing them will lead to a segfault

so it is unnecessory to call vzalloc for zero sized memory
request and not call functions which maybe derefence the
NULL allocated memory

this also fixes a possible memory leak if phy_ethtool_get_stats
returns error, memory should be freed before exit
