ice: fix stats being updated by way too large values

Simplify stats accumulation logic to fix the case where we don't take
previous stat value into account, we should always respect it.

Main netdev stats of our PF (Tx/Rx packets/bytes) were reported orders of
magnitude too big during OpenStack reconfiguration events, possibly other
reconfiguration cases too.

The regression was reported to be between 6.1 and 6.2, so I was almost
certain that on of the two "preserve stats over reset" commits were the
culprit. While reading the code, it was found that in some cases we will
increase the stats by arbitrarily large number (thanks to ignoring "-prev"
part of condition, after zeroing it).

Note that this fixes also the case where we were around limits of u64, but
that was not the regression reported.

Full disclosure: I remember suggesting this particular piece of code to
Ben a few years ago, so blame on me.
