Before this patch, the stats_lock was acquired twice. In between the
locks Driver sent command to gather some more statistics (per priority
and counter statistics). If the stats lock was acquired by get
statistics NDO in between we would have report out of sync counters.
Fix this by collecting all stats from Firmware in advance and then
fill the Software structs under one lock.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
