ibmvnic: Use ndo_get_stats64 to fix inaccurate SAR reporting
VNIC testing on multi-core Power systems showed SAR stats drift and packet rate inconsistencies under load. Implements ndo_get_stats64 to provide safe aggregation of queue-level atomic64 counters into rtnl_link_stats64 for use by tools like 'ip -s', 'ifconfig', and 'sar'. Switch to ndo_get_stats64 to align SAR reporting with the standard kernel interface for retrieving netdev stats. This removes redundant per-adapter stat updates, reduces overhead, eliminates cacheline bouncing from hot path updates, and improves the accuracy of reported packet rates.
