Subject[PATCH RFC v3 3/3] virtio-net: optimize free_old_xmit_skbs stats
From: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>

We already have counters for sent packets and sent bytes.
Use them to reduce the number of u64_stats_update_begin/end().

Take care not to bother with stats update when called
speculatively.

Based on a patch by Jason Wang.
