loopback: packet drops accounting

We can in some situations drop packets in netif_rx()

loopback driver does not report these (unlikely) drops to its stats,
and incorrectly change packets/bytes counts.

After this patch applied, "ifconfig lo" can reports these drops as in :

# ifconfig lo
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:692562900 errors:3228 dropped:3228 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:692562900 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:2865674174 (2.6 GiB)  TX bytes:2865674174 (2.6 GiB)

I initialy chose to reflect those errors only in tx_dropped/tx_errors, but David
convinced me that it was really RX errors, as loopback_xmit() really starts
a RX process. (calling eth_type_trans() for example, that itself pulls the ethernet header)

These errors are accounted in rx_dropped/rx_errors.
