Add the netlink extended ACK structure pointer to the interface for

Could you wrap it into a structure perhaps?

Would be good if we didn't have to modify the signature of the callback
next time we need to extend it (especially since struct ethtool_fecparam
is ioctl uABI so we can't really add fields there).
