loopback: Implement 64bit stats on 32bit arches
Uses a seqcount_t to synchronize stat producer and consumer, for packets and bytes counter, now u64 types. (dropped counter being rarely used, stay a native "unsigned long" type) No noticeable performance impact on x86, as it only adds two increments per frame. It might be more expensive on arches where smp_wmb() is not free. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
