Subject: [PATCH FIX net-next v1] net-forcedeth: fix possible stats inaccuracies on 32b hosts

The software stats are updated from BH, this change ensures that 32b
UP hosts use appropriate protection.

Tested:
  - HW/SW stats consistent with pktgen (in particular tx=rx)
  - HW/SW stats consistent when tx/rx offloads disabled
  - no problem with+without lockdep (SMP 16-way)
