ibmvnic: Use ndo_get_stats64 to fix inaccurate SAR reporting

VNIC testing on multi-core Power systems showed SAR stats drift
and packet rate inconsistencies under load.

Implements ndo_get_stats64 to provide safe aggregation of queue-level
atomic64 counters into rtnl_link_stats64 for use by tools like 'ip -s',
'ifconfig', and 'sar'. Switch to ndo_get_stats64 to align SAR reporting
with the standard kernel interface for retrieving netdev stats.

This removes redundant per-adapter stat updates, reduces overhead,
eliminates cacheline bouncing from hot path updates, and improves
the accuracy of reported packet rates.
