netdev-genl: avoid empty messages in queue dump
[ Upstream commit 5eb70dbebf32c2fd1f2814c654ae17fc47d6e859 ]
Empty netlink responses from do() are not correct (as opposed to
dump() where not dumping anything is perfectly fine).
We should return an error if the target object does not exist,
in this case if the netdev is down it has no queues.
