r8169 maintains synchronized per-CPU software counters for packet and byte
accounting, but does not expose them through the netdev qstats interface.

Add netdev_stat_ops callbacks and report the existing software counters
through queue 0 for both Rx and Tx. Provide zero base stats so device-scope
qstats report the packet and byte counters as supported and match the
existing RTNL statistics.

It'd be good to include the motivation / backstory that led you to
implementing this when you repost this after the merge window.
Benefit of having qstats with a single queue may not be obvious.

## Form letter - net-next-closed

Please repost when net-next reopens after Apr 27th.

RFC patches sent for review only are obviously welcome at any time.
