This patch adds lock protection for the hardware statistics for fbnic. The hardware statistics access via ndo_get_stats64 is not protected by the rtnl_lock(). Since these stats can be accessed from different places in the code such as service task, ethtool, Q-API, and net_device_ops, a lock-less approach can lead to races. Note that this patch is not a fix rather, just a prep for the subsequent changes in this series.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
