Switch to counter framework for per interface stats in ng_bridge.

LGTM. Does it really depend on D28123?
Maybe _kstats?
_statS() for consistency?

Formally the change does not require D28123 to be applied. It's a reverse dependency: Many changes are necessary to remove the WRITER annotation.
Without the motivation of D28123, this change is senseless.
