Hmm, while your patch is technically correct, it seems strange all this
stuff runs in hard irq context.
If we accept dev_get_stats() being called from hard irq context, we must
audit all ndo_get_stats() & ndo_get_stats64() to make sure they use
spin_lock_irqsave() variants. I am pretty sure we have a lot of work...
For example:
drivers/net/macvlan.c uses a _bh() variant
drivers/net/cxgb4vf/cxgb4vf_main.c uses a spin_lock()
drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c uses a read_lock_bh()
drivers/net/sunhme.c uses a spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq()
drivers/net/ehea/ehea_main.c uses a get_zeroed_page(GFP_KERNEL);
drivers/net/sfc/efx.c uses a spin_lock_bh()
...
dev_get_stats(dev, &temp) is called from drivers/usb/gadget/rndis.c,
while I suspect underlying stats are already provided in dev->stats
