On 64bit arches, struct u64_stats_sync is empty and provides no help against load/store tearing. Convert to u64_stats_t to ensure atomic operations.
Eric, could you comment if this matters? I expect David may send a non-trivial number of these, I want to make sure we're making good use of everyone's time here. 64b accesses are not torn on 64b arches, and never used for control flow.
