ibmveth: Fix endian issues with rx_no_buffer statistic
Hidden away in the last 8 bytes of the buffer_list page is a solitary statistic. It needs to be byte swapped or else ethtool -S will produce numbers that terrify the user. Since we do this in multiple places, create a helper function with a comment explaining what is going on.
