ethtool: handle info/flash data copying outside rtnl_lock
We need to increase the lifetime of the data for .get_info and .flash_update beyond their handlers inside rtnl_lock. Allocate a union on the heap and use it instead. Note that we now copy the ethcmd before we lookup dev, hopefully there is no crazy user space depending on error codes.
