Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] net: xilinx: axienet: Add inline comment for stats_lock mutex definition

Add inline comment to document the purpose of the stats_lock mutex in
the axienet_local structure. This mutex protects the hw_stats_seqcount
sequence counter used for hardware statistics synchronization.

Fixes checkpatch warning:
CHECK: struct mutex definition without comment
