    mlx4: give precise rx/tx bytes/packets counters
    
    mlx4 stats are chaotic because a deferred work queue is responsible
    to update them every 250 ms.

Likely after this patch I get this crash (below), when rebooting my machine.
Looks like a device removal order thing.
Tested with net-next at commit 93ba22225504.
