bnxt_en: Fix statistics counters issue during ifdown with older firmware.
On older firmware, the hardware statistics are not cleared when the driver frees the hardware stats contexts during ifdown. The driver expects these stats to be cleared and saves a copy before freeing the stats contexts. During the next ifup, the driver will likely allocate the same hardware stats contexts and this will cause a big increase in the counters as the old counters are added back to the saved counters. We fix it by making an additional firmware call to clear the counters before freeing the hw stats contexts when the firmware is the older 20.x firmware. Fixes: b8875ca3 ("bnxt_en: Save ring statistics before reset.")
