ethtool: tsconfig: reject zero-valued tx_type and rx_filter bitsets

Browse source

The ffs()/fls() guard in ethnl_set_tsconfig() was meant to enforce
that the user selects exactly one tx_type (and one rx_filter)
at a time (off / none are explicit types with non-zero values).
However, both ffs(0) and fls(0) return 0, so the guard passes
a zero-valued bitset through.

The subsequent ffs(req_tx_type) - 1 would produce -1, if user selected
no bit. net_hwtstamp_validate() catches the invalid -1 downstream,
but returns a generic error (-ERANGE) without telling the user
what went wrong. Return -EINVAL + extack instead.

Replace the ffs()/fls() comparison with a hweight32() == 1 check.
