These changes provide a new generic network tx_timeout sysfs queue
attribute and implement the ndo_get_stats64 API for forcedeth. They
also add a few more stats and debugging features for forcedeth. They
ensure that stats updates are correct in SMP systems, 32 or 64-bits.

Thanks to all the reviewers of the previous versions of this series!

Note: patch 1 is the cherry-pick of 898bdf2cb43e ("forcedeth: fix
stats on hardware without extended stats support")

Changes since v5:
  - get_stats64: back to using u64_stats_sync.h instead of atomic
    integers, but this time with 2 seqcounts: one for TX, one for RX

Changes since v4:
  - tx_timeout counter now a generic sysfs attribute. Credits to
    Stephen Hemminger for initial implementation
  - revert get_stats64 to using atomic variables: see
    http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/125861/ for motivations
  - dropped patch "expose module parameters in /sys/module" for now: I
    will work on this later, following Stephen's recommendations
    (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/125862/).

Changes since v3:
  - updated get_stats64 + rx_dropped patches to use u64_stats_sync.h
  - dropped indentation "whitespace/indentation fixes" (included in
    get_stats64 api patch)

Changes since v2:
  - patch 1/9 is the cherry-pick of 898bdf2cb43e ("forcedeth: fix
    stats on hardware without extended stats support")
  - removed patch 5/10 "stats for rx_packets based on hardware
    registers" because packets&bytes stats are updated in software
    only (898bdf2cb43e)

Changes since v1:
  - patch 1/10 is the same as
    http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/125017/ (targetting net)
  - other patches updated to take patch 1/10 into account
  - various commit message updates


Tested:
  ~150Mbps incoming TCP, ethtool -S in a loop, x86_64 16-way:
     tx_bytes: 5441989419
     rx_packets: 5439224
     tx_timeout: 0
     tx_packets: 5456705
     rx_bytes: 5566763850

Tested:
  pktgen + loopback report same RX/TX packets and bytes stats

Tested:
  tests above with Kconfig DEBUG_PAGEALLOC DEBUG_MUTEXES
  DEBUG_SPINLOCK LOCKUP_DETECTOR DEBUG_RT_MUTEXES DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
  PROVE_LOCKING DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP DEBUG_STACK_USAGE DEBUG_KOBJECT
  DEBUG_VM DEBUG_LIST DEBUG_SG DEBUG_NOTIFIERS TEST_KSTRTOX
  STRICT_DEVMEM DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW
