Subject: [patch net-next v3 1/4] netdevice: add SW statistics ndo

From: Nogah Frankel <nogahf@...lanox.com>

Till now we had a ndo statistics function that returned SW statistics.
We want to change the "basic" statistics to return HW statistics if
available.
In this case we need to expose a new ndo to return the SW statistics.
Add a new ndo declaration to get SW statistics
Add a function that gets SW statistics if a competible ndo exist

v2->v3:
- added dev_have_sw_stats helper
v1->v2:
- no change
