ethtool: add default notification handler
The ethtool netlink notifications have the same format as related GET replies so that if generic GET handling framework is used to process GET requests, its callbacks and instance of struct get_request_ops can be also used to compose corresponding notification message. Provide function ethnl_std_notify() to be used as notification handler in ethnl_notify_handlers table.
