[PATCH] net: 8390: Fix possible data races in __ei_get_stats

[Jia-Ju Bai]

The write operations to "dev->stats" are protected by 
the spinlock on line 862-864, but the read operations to
this data on line 858 and 867 are not protected by the spinlock.
Thus, there may exist data races for "dev->stats".

To fix the data races, the read operations to "dev->stats" are 
protected by the spinlock, and a local variable is used for return.
