[PATCH 3.16 182/233] l2tp: cast l2tp traffic counter to unsigned

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.48-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dominik Heidler <dheidler@xxxxxxx>

commit 9b3dc0a17d7388c4fb83736ca45253a93e994ce4 upstream.

This fixes a counter problem on 32bit systems:
When the rx_bytes counter reached 2 GiB, it jumpd to (2^64 Bytes - 2GiB) Bytes.

rtnl_link_stats64 has __u64 type and atomic_long_read returns
atomic_long_t which is signed. Due to the conversation
we get an incorrect value on 32bit systems if the MSB of
the atomic_long_t value is set.
