net: ethtool: remove the data argument from ethtool_notify()
ethtool_notify() takes a const void *data argument, which presumably
was intended to pass information from the call site to the subcommand
handler. This argument currently has no users.
Expecting the data to be subcommand-specific has two complications.
Complication #1 is that its not plumbed thru any of the standardized
callbacks. It gets propagated to ethnl_default_notify() where it
remains unused. Coming from the ethnl_default_set_doit() side we pass
in NULL, because how could we have a command specific attribute in
a generic handler.
Complication #2 is that we expect the ethtool_notify() callers to
know what attribute type to pass in. Again, the data pointer is
untyped.
RSS will need to pass the context ID to the notifications.
I think it's a better design if the "subcommand" exports its own
typed interface and constructs the appropriate argument struct
(which will be req_info). Remove the unused data argument from
ethtool_notify() but retain it in a new internal helper which
subcommands can use to build a typed interface.
