From: Chenmin Sun <chenmin.sun at intel.com>

1. Fix the lldp stop condition check - for firmware
versions 6.01(for X710)/3.33(for X722) or later we need stop the lldp
2. Doucment known issue for tx bytes decreasing due to link status chage
3. Deferred stats reset in dev_init to avoid some noise be counted.

Fixes: 044846f071cc ("net/i40e: stop LLDP before setting local LLDP MIB")

+Tx bytes affected by the link status change
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For firmware versions prior to 6.01 for X710 series and 3.33 for X722 series, the tx_bytes statsistics data is affected by
+the link down event. Each time the link status changes to down, the tx_bytes decreases 110 bytes.
