gianfar: convert u64 status counters to atomic64_t
While looking at some asm dump for an unrelated change, Eric noticed in the following stats count increment code: 50b8: 81 3c 01 f8 lwz r9,504(r28) 50bc: 81 5c 01 fc lwz r10,508(r28) 50c0: 31 4a 00 01 addic r10,r10,1 50c4: 7d 29 01 94 addze r9,r9 50c8: 91 3c 01 f8 stw r9,504(r28) 50cc: 91 5c 01 fc stw r10,508(r28) that a 64 bit counter was used on ppc-32 without sync and hence the "ethtool -S" output was racy. Here we convert all the values to use atomic64_t so that the output will always be consistent.
