bnxt: count packets discarded because of netpoll
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.
