Summary

Initially, stats were being updated each time OS was requesting for
first statistic.
To read statistics from hw, condvar was used. cv_timedwait cannot be
called when unsleepable lock is held, and this happens when FreeBSD
is requesting statistic.
Separate task is reading statistics from NIC each 1 second.
