Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: spacemit: Make stats_lock softirq-safe

While most of the statistics functions (emac_get_stats64() and such) are
called with softirqs enabled, emac_stats_timer() is, as its name
suggests, also called from a timer, i.e. called in softirq context.

All of these take stats_lock. Therefore, make stats_lock softirq-safe by
changing spin_lock() into spin_lock_bh() for the functions that get
statistics.

Also, instead of directly calling emac_stats_timer() in emac_up() and
emac_resume(), set the timer to trigger instead, so that
emac_stats_timer() is only called from the timer. It will keep using
spin_lock().

This fixes a lockdep warning, and potential deadlock when stats_timer is
triggered in the middle of getting statistics.

Fixes: bfec6d7f2001 ("net: spacemit: Add K1 Ethernet MAC")
Reported-by: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@...sung.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/a52c0cf5-0444-41aa-b061-a0a1d72b02fe@samsung.com/

Thanks a lot for catching this, Marek!
