So in mlx4_en_DUMP_ETH_STATS, the driver calls mlx4_en_fold_software_stats
which does the same "port_up" / "master" check and bails out... so I figured
for these stats I should do the same.

Was hoping Mellanox would give us a hint, but glancing at the code where the
MLX4_FLAG_MASTER bit is set, it looks like sriov ? maybe "master" means pf and
"slave" means "vf" ?

Not sure why the stats code bails on is_master but not is_slave, though.

I'll add your reviewed-by to my v3 and wait until sometime mid next week to
send the v3. Hopefully we'll hear back from the Mellanox folks by then if they
have thoughts/opinions on the stats code.
