When netlink ethtool is not part of the kernel configuration stubs are
provided. It is also impossible to trigger a cable test, so the error
code returned by the alloc function is of no consequence.

Include the status complete in the netlink notification message

It seems you applied the changes to ethnl_cable_test_alloc() suggested

necessary to fix that unless there is some actual problem that would
require a resubmit.
