These counters help determine how often the guest sends a packet with more
than MAX_SKB_FRAGS frags.

NOTE: if bisect brought you here, you should apply the series up until #9,
otherwise malicious guests can block other guests by not releasing their sent
packets.

This patch break bisection with a cause different than "unable to handle
too many frags", because previous patch makes use of this
tx_frag_overflow. It's harmless to merge this one into previous one.
