Rusty Russell c45d286e72 [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.
