gianfar: convert u64 status counters to atomic64_t
While looking at some asm dump for an unrelated change, Eric
noticed in the following stats count increment code:
    50b8:       81 3c 01 f8     lwz     r9,504(r28)
    50bc:       81 5c 01 fc     lwz     r10,508(r28)
    50c0:       31 4a 00 01     addic   r10,r10,1
    50c4:       7d 29 01 94     addze   r9,r9
    50c8:       91 3c 01 f8     stw     r9,504(r28)
    50cc:       91 5c 01 fc     stw     r10,508(r28)
that a 64 bit counter was used on ppc-32 without sync
and hence the "ethtool -S" output was racy.
Here we convert all the values to use atomic64_t so that
the output will always be consistent.
