[PATCH ethtool v2] ethtool: fix argument check in do_srxfh function to prevent segmentation fault

[Gwangrok Baek]

Ensure that do_srxfh function in ethtool.c checks for the presence of
additional arguments when context or xfrm parameter is provided before
performing strcmp. This prevents segmentation faults caused by missing
arguments.

Without this patch, running 'ethtool -X DEVNAME [ context | xfrm ]' without
additional arguments results in a segmentation fault due to an invalid
strcmp operation.

Fixes: f5d55b967e0c ("ethtool: add support for extra RSS contexts and
RSS steering filters")
Fixes: a6050b18ba73 ("ethtool: add support for RSS input transformation")

As Jakub wrote on v1, the Fixes: tag should not be line-wrapped.
