Currently ethtool_set_channel calls separate functions to check whether the new channel number violates rss configuration or flow steering configuration. Very soon we need to check whether the new channel number violates memory provider configuration as well. To do all 3 checks cleanly, add a wrapper around ethtool_get_max_rxnfc_channel() and ethtool_get_max_rxfh_channel(), which does both checks. We can later extend this wrapper to add the memory provider check in one place. Note that in the current code, we put a descriptive genl error message when we run into issues. To preserve the error message, we pass the genl_info* to the common helper. The ioctl calls can pass NULL instead.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
