I agree that we definitely should make sure ->begin() and ->complete()
are always called around ethtool_ops calls. But even if nesting should
be safe now (for in-tree drivers, that is), I'm not really happy about
calling them even in places where we positively know we are always
inside a begin / complete block as e.g. vxlan or net_failover do. (And
also linkinfo.c and linkmodes.c but it may be easier to call
->get_link_ksettings() directly there.)

How about having two helpers: one simple for "ethtool context" where we
know we already are between ->begin() and ->complete() and one with the
begin/complete calls for the rest? Another interesting question is if
any of the callers which do not have their own begin()/complete() wrap
does actually need anything more than speed and duplex (I didn't do
a full check).
