Jeff is out, so I just opted to email a fix to netdev. I hope this is acceptable.

I opted to essentially revert the patch that moved code to i40e_ethtool_stats.h, rather than anything fancier, since it was fast, and correct.

There was a suggestion to only move the one offending function, but I felt that it was better to move everything back into the .c files.

Thanks,
Jake
