ixgbe: fix stats handling
Current ixgbe stats have following problems : - Not 64 bit safe (on 32bit arches) - Not safe in ixgbe_clean_rx_irq() : All cpus dirty a common location (netdev->stats.rx_bytes & netdev->stats.rx_packets) without proper synchronization. This slow down a bit multiqueue operations, and possibly miss some updates. Fixes : Implement ndo_get_stats64() method to provide accurate 64bit rx|tx bytes/packets counters, using 64bit safe infrastructure. ixgbe_get_ethtool_stats() also use this infrastructure to provide 64bit safe counters.
