Note: The following is racy, because multiple threads can call
hinic_get_stats64() at the same time.
It needs a loop, see include/linux/u64_stats_sync.h for detail.
Thanks for reminding, and I noticed that nic_tx_stats/nic_rx_stats has
been protected by u64_stats_sync in update_t/rx_stats(), it seems that
it's unnecessary to use spinlock in update_nic_stats().
It is necessary to use the spinlock to protect writers among themselves.
Ohhh, sorry, I was wrong.
I did not realize that seqlock cannot prevent mutil writers enter 
critical section...
