📋 Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ip_tunnel: adapt iptunnel_xmit_stats() to NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_DSTATS

Blamed commits forgot that vxlan/geneve use udp_tunnel[6]_xmit_skb() which call iptunnel_xmit_stats().

iptunnel_xmit_stats() was assuming tunnels were only using NETDEV_PCPU_STAT_TSTATS.

@syncp offset in pcpu_sw_netstats and pcpu_dstats is different.

32bit kernels would either have corruptions or freezes if the syncp sequence was overwritten.

This patch also moves pcpu_stat_type closer to dev->{t,d}stats to avoid a potential cache line miss since iptunnel_xmit_stats() needs to read it.
