This patch adds statistics for unregistered non-EAL threads, which was
previously not included in the statistics.
Add one more entry to the stats array, and use the last index for
unregistered non-EAL threads.
The unregistered non-EAL thread statistics are incremented atomically.
In theory, the EAL thread counters should also be accessed atomically to
avoid tearing on 32 bit architectures. However, it was decided to avoid
the performance cost of using atomic operations, because:
1. these are debug counters, and
2. statistics counters in DPDK are usually incremented non-atomically.
v4:
* No changes.
v3 (feedback from Mattias Rönnblom):
* Use correct terminology: Unregistered non-EAL threads.
* Use atomic counting for the unregistered non-EAL threads.
* Reintroduce the conditional instead of offsetting the index by one.
v2:
* New. No v1 of this patch in the series.
