rx: Make statistics interface use Atomics
Make the rx_statistics statistics gathering infrastructure use
atomics for all of its counters. This significantly reduces
lock contention. However, it also (potentially) changes the format
of the rx_stats variable which has been used by callers in the past.
To simplify this process, and to aid with future changes, we remove
direct access to rx_stats. Instead, two additional API functions
rx_GetStatistics and rx_FreeStatistics are provided. These give the
caller access to an 'normal' rx_statistics structure.
Tom Keiser has suggested that we should explore using thread-local
statistics structures, and just aggregating them when we are asked
to report. This is a fine idea, and is equally possible with the
new interface that this patch introduces.
