Subject: [PATCH 4.16 224/272] ibmvnic: Allocate statistics buffers during probe

4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Falcon <tlfalcon@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 53cc7721fdf12e649994cfb7d8f562acb0e4510b ]

Currently, buffers holding individual queue statistics are allocated
when the device is opened. If an ibmvnic interface is hotplugged or
initialized but never opened, an attempt to get statistics with
ethtool will result in a kernel panic.

Since the driver allocates a constant number, the maximum supported
queues, of buffers, these can be allocated during device probe and
freed when the device is hot-unplugged or the module is removed.
