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.
