This fixes a counter problem on 32bit systems:
When the rx_bytes counter reached 2 GiB, it jumpd to (2^64 Bytes - 2GiB) Bytes.
rtnl_link_stats64 has __u64 type and atomic_long_read returns
atomic_long_t which is signed. Due to the conversation
we get an incorrect value on 32bit systems if the MSB of
the atomic_long_t value is set.

This is not the right way to fix this.
1. shouldn't be using atomic's for network counters, look at other network devices.
2. should be using u64_stats_fetch api to handle 64 bit counters.

But they do not want 64bit counters, and not per cpu counters for a
driver handling few packets per second.
Just use native size of "unsigned long".
We use the same atomic_long_t for (struct netdev)->rx_dropped,
tx_dropped & rx_nohandler
So I guess same fix is needed in dev_get_stats()

Ahh yeah, indeed. I've applied this l2tp patch, therefore.

Looks like it, I'll apply a formal submission of this.
