net/mlx4_en: get rid of ret_stats
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.
