[PATCH] net: Fix error in comment on net_device_ops::ndo_get_stats

[Ben Hutchings]

ndo_get_stats still returns struct net_device_stats *; there is
no struct net_device_stats64.

Applied.

But, I am ignoring every single patch you submit from here on
out that lacks a proper "net-2.6" or "net-next-2.6" destination
tree indication in your Subject line.

I've asked this of you at least 3 times, and you seem content to just
ignore my request.  But that's OK, as I think you'll stop ignoring
me when it starts causing patches you care about to be dropped.

Thanks :-)

Sorry Dave, I thought net-next-2.6 was still the default and I only
needed to make it more obvious when I wanted patches to go to net-2.6.
I've added the suffix to my git configuration now.

Ben.
