VF statistic regs are read-only and can't be migrated via writing back
directly.

Currently, statistic data returned to user space by the driver is not equal
to value of statistic regs. VF driver records value of statistic regs as base data
when net interface is up or open, calculate increased count of regs during
last period of online service and added it to saved_reset data. When user
space collects statistic data, VF driver returns result of
"current - base + saved_reset". "Current" is reg value at that point.

Restoring net function after migration just likes net interface is up or open.
Call existed function to update base and saved_reset data to keep statistic
data continual during migration.

So far, it seems that the only two things done when
starting migration are very small.

It doesn't seem worth it to let guests defer migration for things like
this.  Surely, cancelling a timer can be done later after VM is
migrated?
