net: Use u64_stats_fetch_begin_irq() for stats fetch.



commit 278d3ba6 upstream.

On 32bit-UP u64_stats_fetch_begin() disables only preemption. If the
reader is in preemptible context and the writer side
(u64_stats_update_begin*()) runs in an interrupt context (IRQ or
softirq) then the writer can update the stats during the read operation.
This update remains undetected.

Use u64_stats_fetch_begin_irq() to ensure the stats fetch on 32bit-UP
are not interrupted by a writer. 32bit-SMP remains unaffected by this
change.
