4687f3f364 forcedeth: remove unneeded stats updates
Function ndo_get_stats() updates most of the stats from hardware
registers, making the manual updates un-needed. This change removes
these manual updates. Main exception is rx_missed_errors which needs
manual update.

Another exception is rx_packets, still updated manually in this commit
to make sure this patch doesn't change behavior of driver. This will
be addressed by a future patch.

2a4e7a085f forcedeth: Acknowledge only interrupts that are being processed
This is to avoid a race, accidentally acknowledging an interrupt that
we didn't notice and won't immediately process.  This is based solely
on code inspection; it is not known if there was an actual bug here.

f9c4082df5 forcedeth: fix race when unloading module
When forcedeth module is unloaded, there exists a path that can lead
to mod_timer() after del_timer_sync(), causing an oops. This patch
short-circuits this unneeded path, which originates in
nv_get_ethtool_stats().

Tested:
  x86_64 16-way + 3 ethtool -S infinite loops + 100Mbps incoming traffic
  + rmmod/modprobe/ifconfig in a loop

9e903e0852 net: add skb frag size accessors
To ease skb->truesize sanitization, its better to be able to localize
all references to skb frags size.

Define accessors : skb_frag_size() to fetch frag size, and
skb_frag_size_{set|add|sub}() to manipulate it.

8b0c11679f net: Remove unnecessary driver assignments of ethtool_ringparam fields to zero
Per comments from Ben Hutchings on a previous patch, sweep the floors
a little removing unnecessary assignments of zero to fields of struct
ethtool_ringparam in driver code supporting ethtool -g.

5d6bcdfe38 net: use DMA_x_DEVICE and dma_mapping_error with skb_frag_dma_map
When I converted some drivers from pci_map_page to skb_frag_dma_map I
neglected to convert PCI_DMA_xDEVICE into DMA_x_DEVICE and
pci_dma_mapping_error into dma_mapping_error.
