bnxt_en: Fix race conditions in .ndo_get_stats64(). .ndo_get_stats64() may not be protected by RTNL and can race with .ndo_stop() or other ethtool operations that can free the statistics memory. Fix it by setting a new flag BNXT_STATE_READ_STATS and then proceeding to read statistics memory only if the state is OPEN. The close path that frees the memory clears the OPEN state and then waits for the BNXT_STATE_READ_STATS to clear before proceeding to free the statistics memory.
