Subject: net: prevent sign extension in dev_get_stats()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

commit 6f64ec74515925cced6df4571638b5a099a49aae upstream.

Similar to the fix provided by Dominik Heidler in commit
9b3dc0a17d73 ("l2tp: cast l2tp traffic counter to unsigned")
we need to take care of 32bit kernels in dev_get_stats().

When using atomic_long_read(), we add a 'long' to u64 and
might misinterpret high order bit, unless we cast to unsigned.

Fixes: 015f0688f57ca ("net: net: add a core netdev->tx_dropped counter")
Fixes: 6e7333d315a76 ("net: add rx_nohandler stat counter")
