virtio_net: Add ethtool stats



The main purpose of this patch is adding a way of checking per-queue stats.
It's useful to debug performance problems on multiqueue environment.

$ ethtool -S ens10
NIC statistics:
     rx_queue_0_packets: 2090408
     rx_queue_0_bytes: 3164825094
     rx_queue_1_packets: 2082531
     rx_queue_1_bytes: 3152932314
     tx_queue_0_packets: 2770841
     tx_queue_0_bytes: 4194955474
     tx_queue_1_packets: 3084697
     tx_queue_1_bytes: 4670196372

This change converts existing per-cpu stats structure into per-queue one.
This should not impact on performance since each queue counter is not
updated concurrently by multiple cpus.

Performance numbers:
 - Guest has 2 vcpus and 2 queues
 - Guest runs netserver
 - Host runs 100-flow super_netperf
