"stats" copy is only needed for generating debugfs information.

We can probably reduce the stack usage and also simplify the driver
by just accessing dsi->irq_stats directly before cleaning it
(we would also need to extend coverage of spinlock but the code is
debug only so this should not be a problem).

Care to try this approach?
