Re: [PATCH 14/24] net, diet: Make MIB statistics collections depend on PROC_FS

When PROC_FS is not compiled in we don't need the statistics
gathering code, as the only way to see the output is through
/proc. Saves about 5k text, likely more in dynamic memory.

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
