Dropping packets in __dev_queue_xmit() when transmit queue
is stopped (NIC TX ring buffer full or BQL limit reached) currently
outputs a syslog message.

It would be better to get a precise count of such events available in
netdevice stats so that monitoring tools can have a clue.

This extends the work done in caf586e5f23ce
("net: add a core netdev->rx_dropped counter")
