Make stats allocation per-channel dynamic on demand, at channel open operation. Previously the stats array was pre-allocated for the maximum possible number of channels. Here we defer the per-channel stats instance allocation upon its first usage, so that it's allocated only if really needed. Allocating stats on demand helps maintain a more memory-efficient code, as we're saving memory when the used number of channels is smaller than the maximum. The stats memory instances are still freed in mlx5e_priv_arrays_free(), so that they are persistent to channels' closure. Memory size allocated for struct mlx5e_channel_stats is 3648 bytes. If maximum number of channel stands for 64, the total memory space allocated for stats is 3648x64 = 228K bytes. In scenarios where the number of channels in use is significantly smaller than maximum number, the memory saved can be remarkable.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
