Subject: [PATCH] virtio-net: fix a race on 32bit arches

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

commit 3fa2a1df909 (virtio-net: per cpu 64 bit stats (v2)) added a race
on 32bit arches.

We must use separate syncp for rx and tx path as they can be run at the
same time on different cpus. Thus one sequence increment can be lost and
readers spin forever.
