Subject: [PATCH net-next] veth: fix data race in veth_get_ethtool_stats

In veth_get_ethtool_stats(), some statistics protected by
u64_stats_sync, are read and accumulated in ignorance of possible
u64_stats_fetch_retry() events. These statistics, peer_tq_xdp_xmit and
peer_tq_xdp_xmit_err, are already accumulated by veth_xdp_xmit(). Fix
this by reading them into a temporary buffer first.
