net: ethtool: provide shims for stats aggregation helpers when CONFIG_ETHTOOL_NETLINK=n

ethtool_aggregate_*_stats() are implemented in net/ethtool/stats.c, a
file which is compiled out when CONFIG_ETHTOOL_NETLINK=n. In order to
avoid adding Kbuild dependencies from drivers (which call these helpers)
on CONFIG_ETHTOOL_NETLINK, let's add some shim definitions which simply
make the helpers dead code.

This means the function prototypes should have been located in
include/linux/ethtool_netlink.h rather than include/linux/ethtool.h.
