The check for non-zero ring with RSS is only relevant for
ETHTOOL_SRXCLSRLINS command, in other cases the check tries to access
memory which was not initialized by the userspace tool. Only perform the
check in case of ETHTOOL_SRXCLSRLINS.

Without this patch, filter deletion (for example) could statistically
result in a false error:
  # ethtool --config-ntuple eth3 delete 484
  rmgr: Cannot delete RX class rule: Invalid argument
  Cannot delete classification rule

Fixes: 9e43ad7a1ede ("net: ethtool: only allow set_rxnfc with rss + ring_cookie if driver opts in")
