forcedeth: fix stats on hardware without extended stats support
This change makes sure that tx_packets/rx_bytes ifconfig counters are updated even on NICs that don't provide hardware support for these stats: they are now updated in software. For the sake of consistency, we also now have tx_bytes updated in software (hardware counters include ethernet CRC, and software doesn't account for it). This reverts parts of: - "forcedeth: statistics optimization" (21828163) - "forcedeth: Improve stats counters" (0bdfea8b) - "forcedeth: remove unneeded stats updates" (4687f3f3) Tested: pktgen + loopback (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/124698/) reports identical tx_packets/rx_packets and tx_bytes/rx_bytes.
