[PATCH v2 net-next 1/2] Documentation: sysfs-class-net-statistics: Clarify rx_bytes and tx_bytes

[Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch>]

Document what is expected for the rx_bytes and tx_bytes statistics in
/sys/class/net/<device>/statistics. The FCS should be included in the
statistics. However, since this has been unclear until now, it is
expected a number of drivers don't. But maybe with time they will.
