    bnxt: count packets discarded because of netpoll · 40bedf7c
    Jakub Kicinski authored
    bnxt may discard packets if Rx completions are consumed
    in an attempt to let netpoll make progress. It should be
    extremely rare in practice but nonetheless such events
    should be counted.
    
    Since completion ring memory is allocated dynamically use
    a similar scheme to what is done for HW stats to save them.
    
    Report the stats in rx_dropped and per-netdev ethtool
    counter. Chances that users care which ring dropped are
    very low.
    
    v3: only save the stat to rx_dropped on reset,
    rx_total_netpoll_discards will now only show drops since
    last reset, similar to other "total_discard" counters.
