tbnet_poll() increments rx_packets once per received frame because that is
the NAPI work unit, and then adds the same number to stats.rx_packets. An
skb is handed to the stack only when the last frame of a packet arrives,
so once the MTU exceeds TBNET_MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE the statistic reports
frames. tx_packets is bumped once per skb, so the two ends of a link
disagree: at MTU 65330 the receiver reports 16 times the packets its
sender sent.
rx_bytes has the matching problem: frames of a packet that is later
dropped mid-assembly are already accounted, so it does not correspond to
rx_packets as documented. Account for both where the packet is completed,
and leave the NAPI work counter alone.
