Currently the igb driver does not reports RX dropped
packets in the ethtool -S statistics output, even though
this information is already available in struct
rtnl_link_stats64.
This patch adds rx_dropped, so users can monitor dropped
packet counts directly with ethtool.

This stat is never used in the igb driver, what's the benefit of
constant 0 value in the output?
