    net/mlx4_en: get rid of ret_stats · 9ed17db1
    Eric Dumazet authored
    mlx4 uses a private struct net_device_stats in a vain attempt
    to avoid races.
    
    This is buggy because multiple cpus could call mlx4_en_get_stats()
    at the same time, so ret_stats can not guarantee stable results.
    
    To fix this, we need to switch to ndo_get_stats64() as this
    method provides per-thread storage.
    
    This allows to reduce mlx4_en_priv bloat.
