Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: tpmeter: fix u32 truncation of reported bytes

When more than 4 GB are transferred by the throughput meter,
batadv_tp_batctl_notify() will cut of the upper 32 bit of the u64 counter
and thus under-report the actual transferred bytes.

The data type of the temporary storage variable must therefore still
continue to use u64.
