Trivial cosmetic unimportant issue (urgent)

Trivial cosmetic unimportant issue (urgent)

[Sean]

Hi folks,

      Just a few days uptime and sysfs is reporting that i've transfered a _negative_ number of bytes!  Any chance this could be
unsigned output instead?    The display is created in a common net_device_stat_show but none of the others values should go negative
either.

Cheers,
Sean

This should fix it.
