The priority flow control statistics are laid out in the stats structure using arrays. This made it unwieldy to use as part of an i40e_stats array. Add a new structure type, i40e_pfc_stats, and a helper function i40e_get_pfc_stats which can return the stats for a given priority value as an i40e_pfc_stats structure. Use this to create an i40e_stats array, which we'll use to format and copy the strings and stats into the supplied buffers. This reduces even more boiler plate code in i40e_get_ethtool_stats and i40e_get_stat_strings. An alternative would be to modify the structure definition for the pfc stats, but this is more invasive to the rest of the code base. Note that a macro was used to setup the copy of stats from the pf->stats, as this reduces the chance of typos in the code names. It will produce a checkpatch.pl warning due to re-use of a macro argument. In this case, it should be safe, as the macro will fail to compile in cases where the argument is not a simple structure member name, and thus arguments with side effects should not be an issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
