    linux/dim: Do nothing if no time delta between samples
    
    [ Upstream commit 162bd18eb55adf464a0fa2b4144b8d61c75ff7c2 ]
    
    Add return value for dim_calc_stats. This is an indication for the
    caller if curr_stats was assigned by the function. Avoid using
    curr_stats uninitialized over {rdma/net}_dim, when no time delta between
    samples. Coverity reported this potential use of an uninitialized
    variable.

    Fixes: cb3c7fd4f839 ("net/mlx5e: Support adaptive RX coalescing")
