aq(4): take F/W statistics off the iflib core lock (kick-and-read)
The once-per-second statistics refresh ran the whole F/W-mailbox transaction under iflib's CTX (sx) lock: fw2x_get_stats toggled the MPI STATISTICS control bit and busy-polled the state register for the acknowledgement (up to ~25 ms) before downloading the counters, so a slow F/W response blocked datapath reconfigure / ioctls for the duration. The per-cast and error counters have no direct-register source -- the reference Linux atlantic driver and our port both read them out of the F/W mailbox, and the MSM registers the chip exposes are never used for the periodic counters. So rather than poll, adopt the kick-and-read shape the iflib peer with the same constraint uses (vmxnet3): consume the snapshot the F/W produced for the *previous* request, then toggle the bit to request the next one -- no wait. The F/W finished that previous refresh ~1 s ago, so the download needs no poll, and the toggle write stays serialized against set_mode by the CTX lock exactly as before. This removes the 25 ms poll (and the toggle_mpi_ctrl_and_wait_ helper) from under the lock; only the fast 16-dword download remains. Cost: the counters lag one 1 s cycle, invisible for monitoring, and a torn read is already rejected by aq_update_hw_stats' monotonic-delta check. Validated on AQC107: a fixed 500 MiB RX transfer advances good_octets_rcvd by 549.6 MB -- 500 MiB plus the ~4.8% Ethernet framing overhead -- with rx_err=0 and traffic at line rate.
