OK, I did a quick check, and the only one I could find was br_if.c which
calls register_netdevice() and doesn't set get_stats.  I don't think
that zeroes in this case matters.

So here's a patch inspired by Herbert's patch, but also gets all those
places which I modified previously to check for get_stats returning
NULL.
==
Remove NETIF_F_INTERNAL_STATS: default to internal stats.

Herbert Xu conviced me that a new flag was overkill; every driver
currently overrides get_stats, so we might as well make the internal
one the default.  If someone did fail to set get_stats, they would now
get all 0 stats instead of "No statistics available".
