If ->get_regs_len() callback return 0, we allocate 0 bytes of memory,
what print ugly warning in dmesg, which can be found further below.

This happen on mac80211 devices where ieee80211_get_regs_len() just
return 0 and driver only fills ethtool_regs structure and actually
do not provide any dump. However I assume this can happen on other
drivers i.e. when for some devices driver provide regs dump and for
others do not. Hence preventing to to print warning in ethtool code
seems to be reasonable.

1) 20 concurrent netperf -t TCP_RR -H 10.246.7.152 -l 1000 &

[ Upstream commit c70b17b775edb21280e9de7531acf6db3b365274 ]

Reducing real_num_tx_queues needs to be in sync with skb queue_mapping
otherwise skbs with queue_mapping greater than real_num_tx_queues
can be sent to the underlying driver and can result in kernel panic.

One such event is running netconsole and enabling VF on the same
device. Or running netconsole and changing number of tx queues via
ethtool on same device.

e.g.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
tsk->{mm,active_mm}->context = 0000000000001525
tsk->{mm,active_mm}->pgd = fff800130ff9a000

Commit 07b26c9454a2 ("gso: Support partial splitting at the frag_list
pointer") assumes that all SKBs in a frag_list (except maybe the last
one) contain the same amount of GSO payload.

This assumption is not always correct, resulting in the following
warning message in the log:
    skb_segment: too many frags

For example, mlx5 driver in Striding RQ mode creates some RX SKBs with
one frag, and some with 2 frags.
After GRO, the frag_list SKBs end up having different amounts of payload.
If this frag_list SKB is then forwarded, the aforementioned assumption
is violated.

Validate the assumption, and fall back to software GSO if it not true.
