Actually, no. I started out stress testing this combined with a printk
to show if paddr can be NULL, but this never occurs. ndo_get_stats64 is
apparently only called after registering the device, and this occurs
after calling dma_alloc_coherent in rtl_init_one.

Rather than removing the entire test, I acidentally only removed the
printk. Sorry about that.

Thanks for catching! I'm sending a fixed patch in a minute, removing
the paddr test and setting rc to -ENOMEM if dma_alloc_coherent fails.
