[Devel] [PATCH vz10 3/3] selftests: drv-net: read the channel count over netlink

[Eva Kurchatova]

napi_threaded needs the number of combined channels of the device and
asks ethtool to print it as JSON. Not every ethtool prints that one:
ethtool 6.11 does it for -k, -a, -c, -g and -x, but not for -l, and
the test ends in the first case:

  CmdExitFailure: Command failed: ethtool --json -l eth4
  STDERR: b'ethtool: bad command line argument(s)
  JSON output not available for this subcommand

  not ok 1 napi_threaded.napi_init

Ask the kernel for the count over netlink, which is where ethtool reads
it too, so the test no longer depends on the ethtool version installed.
Changing the count stays with ethtool -L, which needs no JSON. No other
test in the group asks ethtool for something it cannot print, so this is
the only one that needs it.
