not many left,

$ git grep dev_fetch_sw_netstats drivers/

drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1/ipoib_main.c:        dev_fetch_sw_netstats(s
torage, priv->netstats);
drivers/net/macsec.c:   dev_fetch_sw_netstats(s, dev->tstats);
drivers/net/usb/qmi_wwan.c:     dev_fetch_sw_netstats(stats, priv-
>stats64);
drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c:       dev_fetch_sw_netstats(stats, dev-
>stats64);
drivers/net/wireless/quantenna/qtnfmac/core.c:  dev_fetch_sw_netstats(s
tats, vif->stats64);

Why not convert them as well ?
macsec has a different implementation, but all others can be converted.
