Problem initially reproted and fixed by Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>

netdev_stats_update() resets netdev->stats and then accumulates stats from
various rings. This is wrong as stats readers can sometimes catch zero values.
Use temporary variables instead for accumulating per-ring values.

Should also use u64_stats_sync to ensure correct rollover or 32 bit SMP
platform.

These are "unsigned long" fields, you dont need u64_stats_sync.

The source fields (in be.h) are u64, but since destination is unsigned long
that works.
