net: fix 64 bit counters on 32 bit arches
There is a small possibility that a reader gets incorrect values on 32
bit arches. SNMP applications could catch incorrect counters when a
32bit high part is changed by another stats consumer/provider.
One way to solve this is to add a rtnl_link_stats64 param to all
ndo_get_stats64() methods, and also add such a parameter to
dev_get_stats().
Rule is that we are not allowed to use dev->stats64 as a temporary
storage for 64bit stats, but a caller provided area (usually on stack)
Old drivers (only providing get_stats() method) need no changes.
