ethernet: T3163: not all NIC drivers support ring-buffer configuration

In addition to commit cf1156a60e ("ethernet: T3163: probe driver for maximum
rx/tx ring-buffer size") this extends the logic in a way as not every driver
supports setting the buffers at all so it will properly error out.

When invoking "ethtool -g" both stdout and stderr are captured and no exception
is raised if it's an unsupported driver feature. The verify() section will
inform the user about the illegal operation.

(cherry picked from commit 159899ed9ba5661e4bdcfdadf1292e237f117063)
