No, I'm not 100% sure about it, but if any driver has issues with multiple
threads reading stats simultaneously I would hope that that should be
resolved at the driver level. Normally, one would expect read-only
operations to be implicitly multi-thread safe, and I also see that the
documentation on e.g. rte_eth_stats_get() makes no reference to needing
locks or not being thread-safe.
I note too, that any such issues would not be limited to telemetry only,
but would also apply to pdump or any mechanism we would want to have for
reading information about a running process.
