If MAC stats refresh is arranged to be done by periodic DMA,
the first DMA transaction is unlikely to occur right on the
port start; if the user tries to get stats right after port
start and before the transaction occurs, bogus figures will
be collected; a one-off stats upload on port start is a fix

Fixes: 1caab2f1e684 ("net/sfc: add basic statistics")
