testing: net-drv: use stats64 for testing

Testing a network device that has large numbers of bytes/packets may
overflow. Using stats64 when comparing fixes this problem.

I tripped on this while iterating on a qstats patch for mlx5. See below
for confirmation without my added code that this is a bug.

Before this patch (with added debugging output):

$ NETIF=eth0 tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/stats.py
KTAP version 1
1..4
ok 1 stats.check_pause
ok 2 stats.check_fec
rstat: 481708634 qstat: 666201639514 key: tx-bytes
not ok 3 stats.pkt_byte_sum
ok 4 stats.qstat_by_ifindex

Note the huge delta above ^^^ in the rtnl vs qstats.

After this patch:

$ NETIF=eth0 tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/stats.py
KTAP version 1
1..4
ok 1 stats.check_pause
ok 2 stats.check_fec
ok 3 stats.pkt_byte_sum
ok 4 stats.qstat_by_ifindex

It looks like rtnl_fill_stats in net/core/rtnetlink.c will attempt to
copy the 64bit stats into a 32bit structure which is probably why this
behavior is occurring.

To show this is happening, you can get the underlying stats that the
stats.py test uses like this:

$ ./cli.py --spec ../../../Documentation/netlink/specs/rt_link.yaml \
           --do getlink --json '{"ifi-index": 7}'

And examine the output (heavily snipped to show relevant fields):

 'stats': {
           'multicast': 3739197,
           'rx-bytes': 1201525399,
           'rx-packets': 56807158,
           'tx-bytes': 492404458,
           'tx-packets': 1200285371,

 'stats64': {
             'multicast': 3739197,
             'rx-bytes': 35561263767,
             'rx-packets': 56807158,
             'tx-bytes': 666212335338,
             'tx-packets': 1200285371,

The stats.py test prior to this patch was using the 'stats' structure
above, which matches the failure output on my system.

Comparing side by side, rx-bytes and tx-bytes, and getting ethtool -S
output:

rx-bytes stats:    1201525399
rx-bytes stats64: 35561263767
rx-bytes ethtool: 36203402638

tx-bytes stats:      492404458
tx-bytes stats64: 666212335338
tx-bytes ethtool: 666215360113

Note that the above was taken from a system with an mlx5 NIC, which only
exposes ndo_get_stats64.

Based on the ethtool output and qstat output, it appears that stats.py
should be updated to use the 'stats64' structure for accurate
comparisons when packet/byte counters get very large.

To confirm that this was not related to the qstats code I was iterating
on, I booted a kernel without my driver changes and re-ran the test
which shows the qstats are skipped (as they don't exist for mlx5):

NETIF=eth0 tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/stats.py
KTAP version 1
1..4
ok 1 stats.check_pause
ok 2 stats.check_fec
ok 3 stats.pkt_byte_sum # SKIP qstats not supported by the device
ok 4 stats.qstat_by_ifindex # SKIP No ifindex supports qstats

But, fetching the stats using the CLI

$ ./cli.py --spec ../../../Documentation/netlink/specs/rt_link.yaml \
           --do getlink --json '{"ifi-index": 7}'

Shows the same issue (heavily snipped for relevant fields only):

 'stats': {
           'multicast': 105489,
           'rx-bytes': 530879526,
           'rx-packets': 751415,
           'tx-bytes': 2510191396,
           'tx-packets': 27700323,
 'stats64': {
             'multicast': 105489,
             'rx-bytes': 530879526,
             'rx-packets': 751415,
             'tx-bytes': 15395093284,
             'tx-packets': 27700323,

Comparing side by side with ethtool -S on the unmodified mlx5 driver:

tx-bytes stats:    2510191396
tx-bytes stats64: 15395093284
tx-bytes ethtool: 17718435810
