igb: reduce CPU0 latency when updating statistics
This change is based off of the work and suggestion of Jan Jablonsky <jan.jablonsky@thalesgroup.com>. The Watchdog workqueue in igb driver is scheduled every 2s for each network interface. That includes updating a statistics protected by spinlock. Function igb_update_stats in this case will be protected against preemption. According to number of a statistics registers (cca 60), processing this function might cause additional cpu load on CPU0. In case of statistics spinlock may be replaced with mutex, which reduce latency on CPU0.
