Revised v2 patch to fix counters

My apologies but the first patch should not be used. It placed the
vsi_reset_stats() call in initialize_vsi() which gets called every time the
interface comes up. Someone watching the interface with 'netstat -I xxx -w 1'
will see a jump near 2^64 as the counters are reset.

Therefore I moved the vsi_reset_stats() call to if_attach_post() where it is
right next to the pf_reset_stats() call. This function is not called when an
interface flaps down and then back up.

I also removed the call to update_stats_counters() in if_attach_post(). Now the
only call to update_stats_counters() is in if_timer(). This matches the
behavior of the ice driver and produces the expected results in my testing.
Elapsed metrics are all 0 on boot and periodic metrics don't jump when an
interface comes up.
