From: Felix Riemann <felix.riemann@sma.de>

When converting net_device_stats to rtnl_link_stats64 sign extension
is triggered on ILP32 machines as 6c1c509778 changed the previous
"ulong -> u64" conversion to "long -> u64" by accessing the
net_device_stats fields through a (signed) atomic_long_t.

This causes for example the received bytes counter to jump to 16EiB after
having received 2^31 bytes. Casting the atomic value to "unsigned long"
beforehand converting it into u64 avoids this.

Fixes: 6c1c5097781f ("net: add atomic_long_t to net_device_stats fields")

You are awesome, thank you!
