…tool: not found (sonic-net#6615)

Starting with BRCM SAI 4.3.1.5 we see the following :ethtool not fount" error in syslog during boot up:
```

```
It seems that starting with BRCM SAI 4.2.1.5 syncd is using ethtool to set the host interface speed and since this ethtool was not part of the syncd Docker, we observe these "ethtool not found" issue.
