[PATCH RFC v4 net-next 3/5] virtio-net: optimize free_old_xmit_skbs stats

[Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>]

We already have counters for sent packets and sent bytes.
Use them to reduce the number of u64_stats_update_begin/end().

Take care not to bother with stats update when called
speculatively.
