Unlike NL_SET_ERR_* macros, nl_set_extack_cookie_u64() and
nl_set_extack_cookie_u32() helpers do not check extack argument for null
and neither do their callers, as syzbot recently discovered for
ethnl_parse_header().

Instead of fixing the callers and leaving the trap in place, add check of
null extack to both helpers to make them consistent with NL_SET_ERR_*
macros.

v2: drop incorrect second Fixes tag

Fixes: 2363d73a2f3e ("ethtool: reject unrecognized request flags")
