[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/2] net/bnxt: fix to return count in xstats get op in all cases

[Somnath Kotur <somnath.kotur@broadcom.com>]

Driver was returning 0 if the 'xstats' parameter being passed to
xstats_get_op was NULL. This won't work on some applications that
rely on a valid count being passed even in this case so that it can
allocate memory accordingly followed by a reissue of the xstats_get_op
to get the actual stats populated by the driver.

Fixes: 063e59ddd28 ("net/bnxt: fix crash in xstats get")
