Add support for extended statistics of SW only type, for counting only the
packets that went via the cpu. (useful for systems with forward
offloading). It reads it from filter type IFLA_STATS_LINK_OFFLOAD_XSTATS
and sub type IFLA_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_CPU_HIT.

It is under the name 'cpu_hits'
(or any shorten of it as 'cpu' or simply 'c')

For example:
ifstat -x c
