[PATCH iproute2-next] ll_map: add RTEXT_FILTER_SKIP_STATS to ll_init_map()

[PATCH iproute2-next] ll_map: add RTEXT_FILTER_SKIP_STATS to ll_init_map()

[Eric Dumazet]

ll_init_map() only cares about names and ifindex.

We can save ~300 bytes per device if we ask the kernel to skip stats,
not counting many cpu cycles if per-cpu stats are involved.
