mlx5e_grp_sw_update_stats can be called from two threads,
1) ndo_get_stats64
2) get_ethtool_stats
For this reason and to minimize concurrency issue impact on 64bit machines
mlx5e_grp_sw_update_stats folds the software stats into a temporary
variable then copies it to the global driver stats, both ethtool and ndo
statistics callbacks will use the global software stats variable to report
whatever stats they need.
Actually ndo_get_stats64 doesn't need to fold the whole software stats
(mlx5e_grp_sw_update_stats), all it needs is five counters to fill the
rtnl_link_stats64 relevant stats parameter.
Hence this patch introduces a simpler helper function to fold software
stats for ndo_get_stats64 which will work directly on rtnl_link_stats64
stats parameter and not on the global or even temporary mlx5e_sw_stats
variable.
Since now mlx5e_grp_sw_update_stats is not called by ndo_get_stats64 we
can make it static and remove the temp var.
Unlike mlx5e_grp_sw_update_stats the new fold stats function doesn't
need to zero out the output statistics parameter since it is already
done by the stack @dev_get_stats().
This patch is fixing stack usage of mlx5e_grp_sw_update_stats on
x86 gcc-4.9 and higher, the concurrency issue between mlx5's
ndo_get_stats64 and get_ethtool_stats is resolved as well.
