l2tp: avoid deadlock in l2tp stats update
l2tp's u64_stats writers were incorrectly synchronised, making it possible to deadlock a 64bit machine running a 32bit kernel simply by sending the l2tp code netlink commands while passing data through l2tp sessions. Previous discussion on netdev determined that alternative solutions such as spinlock writer synchronisation or per-cpu data would bring unjustified overhead, given that most users interested in high volume traffic will likely be running 64bit kernels on 64bit hardware. As such, this patch replaces l2tp's use of u64_stats with atomic_long_t, thereby avoiding the deadlock.
