[PATCH 5.11 208/329] ethtool: fix missing NLM_F_MULTI flag when dumping

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon May 17 2021 - 11:34:05 EST

[ Upstream commit cf754ae331be7cc192b951756a1dd031e9ed978a ]

When dumping the ethtool information from all the interfaces, the
netlink reply should contain the NLM_F_MULTI flag. This flag allows
userspace tools to identify that multiple messages are expected.
