ethtool: make .get_dump_data() harder to misuse by drivers
As the patch "bnx2x: remove zeroing of dump data buffer" showed, it is too easy implement .get_dump_data incorrectly in a driver. Let's make sure drivers cannot get confused by userspace requesting a too big dump. Also WARN if the driver sets dump->len to something weird and make sure the length reported to userspace is the actual length of data copied to userspace.
