OK, I'll omit the i < ... check in the v2, then.

Yea, it looks like priv->channels.params.num_channels is untouched on
ndo_stop, but:

mlx5e_close (ndo_close)
  mlx5e_close_locked
    mlx5e_close_channels
      priv->channels->num = 0;

and on open priv->channels->num is restored from 0 to
priv->channels.params.num_channels.

So, priv->channels->num to priv->stats_nch would be, I think, the inactive
queues. I'll give it a try locally real quick.
