An optional counter is a driver-specific counter that may be dynamically
enabled/disabled. This enhancement allows drivers to expose counters
which are, for example, mutually exclusive and cannot be enabled at the
same time, counters that might degrades performance, optional debug
counters, etc.
Optional counters are marked with IB_STAT_FLAG_OPTIONAL flag. They are not
exported in sysfs, and must be at the end of all stats, otherwise the
attr->show() in sysfs would get wrong indexes for hwcounters that are
behind optional counters.
