Counters are not enabled, meaning we don't know how many frames were
sent? Or pause frames are not enabled, therefore we know it's 0?

If the latter we should add a comment clarifying that, if the former:

 * @get_pause_stats: Report pause frame statistics. Drivers must not zero
 *	statistics which they don't report. The stats structure is initialized
 *	to ETHTOOL_STAT_NOT_SET indicating driver does not report statistics.
