[NET] loopback: minor statistics optimization
The loopback device status structure is a singleton and doesn't need to be allocated. Add ethtool_ops hooks to show checksum always on, and make ethtool_ops const. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
