Well.. I shouldn't have said "dump" in the subject, then. Let's see how the review goes, I can adjust when applying.

Empty netlink responses from do() are not correct (as opposed to dump() where not dumping anything is perfectly fine). We should return an error if the target object does not exist, in this case if the netdev is down it has no queues.
