net: mscc: ocelot: report ndo_get_stats64 from the wraparound-resistant ocelot->stats

Rather than reading the stats64 counters directly from the 32-bit
hardware, it's better to rely on the output produced by the periodic
ocelot_port_update_stats().

It would be even better to call ocelot_port_update_stats() right from
ocelot_get_stats64() to make sure we report the current values rather
than the ones from 2 seconds ago. But we need to export
ocelot_port_update_stats() from the switch lib towards the switchdev
driver for that, and future work will largely undo that.

There are more ocelot-based drivers waiting to be introduced, an example
of which is the SPI-controlled VSC7512. In that driver's case, it will
be impossible to call ocelot_port_update_stats() from ndo_get_stats64
context, since the latter is atomic, and reading the stats over SPI is
sleepable. So the compromise taken here, which will also hold going
forward, is to report 64-bit counters to stats64, which are not 100% up
to date.
