Subject: net/mlx5e: Reduce number of heap allocated buffers for update stats
Patch-mainline: v4.13-rc1
Git-commit: 0883b4f456f691a54df7a9ae5607ade456fa7b97
References: bsc#1046303 FATE#322944

Allocating buffers on the heap every 200ms is something we should avoid,
let's use buffers located on the stack instead.
