[PATCH net v3] net: dsa: motorcomm: Prevent rx_bytes/tx_bytes underflow

[David Yang]

There is no direct rx_bytes/tx_bytes counter excluding the FCS; both
have to be derived as good_bytes - ETH_FCS_LEN * frames. Three hazards
can pair a frame count with a mismatched byte count and make the
subtraction underflow, reporting rx_bytes or tx_bytes as about 2^64:

- a register read fails midway and the half-refreshed buffer is
  published as is, pairing fresh frame counters with stale byte
  counters;
- get_stats64() on 64-bit kernels reads the published counters without
  any sequencing across fields (u64_stats_sync is a no-op there), so a
  writer update can slip between the frame and byte reads;
- the MIB bank cannot be read as a whole; counters keep counting while
  the read loop walks the table.

Handle this in the writer: do not publish a half-read buffer, keep the
last complete sample on read failure, do the arithmetic on the complete
sample under priv->reg_lock, and publish the derived byte counters only
when check_sub_overflow() succeeds, so that get_stats64() copies plain
published values.

Found by LLM.
