ethtool: drop get_settings and set_settings ops
As Andrew Lunn pointed out in recent discussion, there is only one in tree
driver left which still defines deprecated callbacks get_settings() and
set_settings() in ethtool_ops. First patch converts this driver to
get_link_ksettings() and set_link_ksettings(). Second patch then removes
the deprecated callbacks from struct ethtool_ops and ethtool code which
falls back to them.
This doesn't break old versions of ethtool or any other userspace code
using ETHTOOL_{G,S}SET. We still implement both (old) ETHTOOL_{G,S}SET and
(new) ETHTOOL_{G,S}LINKSETTINGS ioctl commands but after this series both
will be implemented only using {g,s}et_link_ksettings(). The only affected
code would be out of tree NIC drivers which have not been converted yet.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
