Ben Hutchings 67ae7cf1ee ethtool: Allow zero-length register dumps again 
Some drivers (ab)use the ethtool_ops::get_regs operation to expose
only a hardware revision ID.  Commit
a77f5db361 ('ethtool: Allocate register
dump buffer with vmalloc()') had the side-effect of breaking these, as
vmalloc() returns a null pointer for size=0 whereas kmalloc() did not.

For backward-compatibility, allow zero-length dumps again.
