Subject: [PATCH 3/3] ibmvnic: Fix statistics buffers memory leak

Move initialization of statistics buffers from ibmvnic_init function
into ibmvnic_probe. In the current state, ibmvnic_init will be called
again during a device reset, resulting in the allocation of new
buffers without freeing the old ones.
