The offloaded HW stats are designed to allow per-netdevice enablement and
disablement. Add an attribute, IFLA_STATS_SET_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_L3_STATS,
which should be carried by the RTM_SETSTATS message, and expresses a desire
to toggle L3 offload xstats on or off.
As part of the above, add an exported function rtnl_offload_xstats_notify()
that drivers can use when they have installed or deinstalled the counters
backing the HW stats.
At this point, it is possible to enable, disable and query L3 offload
xstats on netdevices. (However there is no driver actually implementing
these.)
