From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

A patch in net-next triggered a compile error on powerpc:

  include/linux/u64_stats_sync.h: In function 'u64_stats_read':
  include/asm-generic/local64.h:30:37: warning: passing argument 1 of 'local_read' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type

This seems reasonable to relax powerpc local_read() requirements.

Fixes: 316580b69d0a ("u64_stats: provide u64_stats_t type")

v2: mpe: Update change log with compiler warning, resend to netdev so it appears
in the netdev patchwork.

Dave can you take this in the net tree so the window of the breakage is as small
as possible please?
