The stats are on a different Kconfig since we wanted to allow people
opt out if they were worried about performance.  However this is not a
10gbit interface and I doubt there will be any measurable hit.  I
think selecting PAGE_POOL_STATS for the driver makes sense and will
make the code easier to follow.
