Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: fix sparse warnings in SNMP_UPD_PO_STATS(_BH)

ptr used to be a non __percpu pointer (result of a this_cpu_ptr
assignment, 7d720c3e4f0c4 ("percpu: add __percpu sparse annotations to
net")). Since d25398df59b56 ("net: avoid reloads in SNMP_UPD_PO_STATS"),
that's no longer the case, SNMP_UPD_PO_STATS uses this_cpu_add and ptr
is now __percpu.

Silence sparse warnings by preserving the original type and
annotation, and remove the out-of-date comment.

warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
   expected unsigned long long *ptr
   got unsigned long long [noderef] <asn:3>*<noident>
warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
   expected void const [noderef] <asn:3>*__vpp_verify
   got unsigned long long *<noident>
warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
