i40evf: update ethtool stats code and use helper functions
Fix a bug in the way we handled VF queues, by always showing stats for the maximum number of queues, even if they aren't allocated. It is not safe to change the number of strings reported to ethtool, as grabbing statistics occurs over multiple ethtool ops for which the rtnl_lock() cannot be held the entire time. Avoid this by always reporting queue stats for the maximum number of queues in the netdevice. Share some of the helper functionality for adding stats with the PF code in i40e_ethtool_stats.h This should reduce the chance of potential future bugs, and make adding new statistics easier. Note for the queue stats, unlike the PF driver we do not keep an array of queue pointers, but an array of queues, so care must be taken to avoid accessing queue memory that hasn't yet been allocated.
