Florian Fainelli 8ecb1a29e1 net: systemport: Fix 64-bit statistics dependency
There are several problems with commit 10377ba767 ("net: systemport:
Support 64bit statistics", first one got fixed in 7095c97345 ("net:
systemport: Fix 64-bit stats deadlock").

The second problem is that this specific code updates the
stats64.tx_{packets,bytes} from ndo_get_stats64() and that is what we
are returning to ethtool -S. If we are not running a tool that involves
calling ndo_get_stats64(), then we won't get updated ethtool stats.

The solution to this is to update the stats from both call sites,
factoring that into a specific function, While at it, don't just check
the sizeof() but also the type of the statistics in order to use the
64-bit stats seqlock.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
