On 64bit arches, struct u64_stats_sync is empty and provides no help

The existing memcpy() does seem problematic (even if in practice it's
not) and the proposed solution in patch #1 seems OK to me given that all
the callers only pass structures containing 64 bit counters. Couldn't
find any more instances of this pattern.
