[PATCH FIX net-next v1] net-forcedeth: fix possible stats inaccuracies on 32b hosts

From: David Decotigny
Date: Thu Nov 17 2011 - 14:38:31 EST


The software stats are updated from BH, this change ensures that 32b
UP hosts use appropriate protection.

Tested:
- HW/SW stats consistent with pktgen (in particular tx=rx)
- HW/SW stats consistent when tx/rx offloads disabled
- no problem with+without lockdep (SMP 16-way)
