Subject: [PATCH net 1/6] ice: initialize ring_stats->syncp

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@...el.com>

The u64_stats_sync structure is empty on 64-bit systems. However, on 32-bit
systems it contains a seqcount_t which needs to be initialized. While the
memory is zero-initialized, a lack of u64_stats_init means that lockdep
won't get initialized properly. Fix this by adding u64_stats_init() calls
to the rings just after allocation.

Fixes: 2b245cb29421 ("ice: Implement transmit and NAPI support")
