[PATCH net-next] virtio_net: do not rate limit counter increments

[raj@tardy.cup.hp.com (Rick Jones)]

From: Rick Jones <rick.jones2@hp.com>

While it is desirable to rate limit certain messages, it is not
desirable to rate limit the incrementing of counters associated
with those messages.

Compiled, and run briefly in a 1 vCPU guest under a netperf workload.
