only the element drop of struct net_dm_stats is used, so simplify it to u64

Thanks for the patch, but I don't really see the value here. The struct
allows for easy extensions in the future. What do you gain from this
change? We merely read stats and report them to user space, so I guess
it's not about performance either.

I think u64 can reduce to call memset and dereference stats.drop

If it is for future, keep it

The compiler should inline the memset().

Also you should have called it 'dropped' not 'stats'.
