[NET]: Inline net_device_stats
Network drivers which keep stats allocate their own stats structure
then write a get_stats() function to return them. It would be nice if
this were done by default.
1) Add a new "stats" field to "struct net_device".
2) Add a new feature field to say "this driver uses the internal one"
3) Have a default "get_stats" which returns NULL if that feature not set.
4) Change callers to check result of get_stats call for NULL, not if
->get_stats is set.
This should not break backwards compatibility with older drivers, yet
allow modern drivers to shed some boilerplate code.
Lightly tested: works for a modified lguest network driver.
