Gathering interface statistics can be a relatively expensive operation on certain systems as it requires iterating over all the cpus. RTEXT_FILTER_SKIP_STATS was first introduced [1] to skip AF_INET6 statistics from interface dumps and it was then extended [2] to also exclude IFLA_VF_INFO. The semantics of the flag does not seem to be limited to AF_INET or VF statistics and having a way to query the interface status (e.g: carrier, address) without retrieving its statistics seems reasonable. So this patch extends the use RTEXT_FILTER_SKIP_STATS to also affect IFLA_STATS.
