~1160 mlx5 counters ~= order 4 allocation which is unlikely to succeed
under memory pressure. Convert them to vzalloc() as ethtool_get_regs() does.
Also take care of drivers without counters similar to
commit 67ae7cf1eeda ("ethtool: Allow zero-length register dumps again")
and reduce warn_on to warn_on_once.

Dave, I think by 'careful about size calculations' you mean
to take care of zero-length. Please let me know if I misunderstood.

I couldn't find any in-tree drivers that have zero length strings
and we already warn_on ops->get_sset_count() == 0, so makes sense
to warn in ethtool_get_strings() as well.
