The current u64_stats_add() accepts only unsigned long, which makes no
sense as u64_stats_set() accepts u64 already, and causes unnecessary
narrowing on 32-bit architectures.

Moreover, since there's no u64_stats_sub(), users may be tempted to
reuse it for decrements, which already happened on nft_counter_reset()
in net/netfilter/nft_counter.c .

Change to s64 to allow both positive and negative values.
