The stats_get API was changed to signal a potential failure to read
stats. Furthermore, some PMDs are able to provide statistics even after
a removal event occurred.

Considering this, the fail-safe can try to access the latest statistics
of a PMD to improve statistics accuracy.

Attempt an ultimate statistics read on removal time; if that fails, use
the latest recorded snapshot.
