I don't really mind either way; from Tariq's message it sounded like
he preferred option 1, so I tried to implement that thinking that it would be
my best bet at getting this done.

If option 2 is easier/preferred for some reason... it seems like
(other than the locking I forgot to include) the base implementation
in v2 was correct and I could use what I proposed in the thread for
the tx stats, which was:

  mutex_lock(&priv->state_lock);
  if (priv->channels.num > 0) {
          sq = priv->txq2sq[i];
          stats->packets = sq->stats->packets;
          stats->bytes = sq->stats->bytes;
  }
  mutex_unlock(&priv->state_lock);

And I would have implemented option 2... IIUC.
