netdev: introduce dev_get_stats()
In order for the network device ops get_stats call to be immutable, the handling
of the default internal network device stats block has to be changed. Add a new
helper function which replaces the old use of internal_get_stats.
Note: change return code to make it clear that the caller should not
go changing the returned statistics.
