mlx4: give precise rx/tx bytes/packets counters
mlx4 stats are chaotic because a deferred work queue is responsible
to update them every 250 ms.
Even sampling stats every one second with "sar -n DEV 1" gives
variations like the following :
lpaa23:~# sar -n DEV 1 10 | grep eth0 | cut -c1-65
07:39:22 eth0 146877.00 3265554.00 9467.15 4828168.50

This patch allows rx/tx bytes/packets counters being folded at the
time we need stats.
We now can fetch stats every 1 ms if we want to check NIC behavior
on a small time window. It is also easier to detect anomalies.
