ethtool: set message mask with DEBUG_SET request
Implement DEBUG_SET netlink request to set debugging settings for a device. At the moment, only message mask corresponding to message level as set by ETHTOOL_SMSGLVL ioctl request can be set. (It is called message level in ioctl interface but almost all drivers interpret it as a bit mask.)
