+ *
+ * access to counter list:
+ * - create (user context)

+ *     mlx5_fc_stats_query_work(). addlist is protected by a spinlock.
+ *   - spawn thread to do the actual destroy
+ *
+ * - destroy (user context)
+ *   - mark a counter as deleted
+ *   - spawn thread to do the actual del
+ *
+ * - dump (user context)
+ *   user should not call dump after destroy
+ *
+ * - query (single thread workqueue context)
+ *   destroy/dump - no conflict (see destroy)
+ *   query/dump - packets and bytes might be inconsistent (since update is not
+ *                atomic)
