[PATCH v3 1/2] net: ethernet: i40e: fix build error

[Wang Dongsheng]

Remove "inline" from __i40e_add_stat_strings and move the function.

In file included from
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_ethtool.c:9:0:
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_ethtool.c: In function
__i40e_add_stat_string:
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_ethtool_stats.h:193:20: error:
function __i40e_add_stat_strings can never be inlined because it uses
variable argument lists
 static inline void __i40e_add_stat_strings(u8 **p, const struct
					    i40e_stats stats[],

Tested on: x86_64, make ARCH=i386
