[PATCH] net/mlx5: report persistent netdev stats across ifdown/ifup commands

[Qing Huang]

Current stats collecting scheme in mlx5 driver is to periodically fetch
aggregated stats from all the active mlx5 software channels associated
with the device. However when a mlx5 interface is brought down(ifdown),
all the channels will be deactivated and closed. A new set of channels
will be created when next ifup command or a similar command is called.
Unfortunately the new channels will have all stats reset to 0. So you
lose the accumulated stats information. This behavior is different from
other netdev drivers including the mlx4 driver. In order to fix it, we
now save prior mlx5 software stats into netdev stats fields, so all the
accumulated stats will survive multiple runs of ifdown/ifup commands and
be shown correctly.
