[ Upstream commit d5b0e0677bfd5efd17c5bbb00156931f0d41cb85 ]

Jakub reported that:

    static struct net_device *rtl8139_init_board(struct pci_dev *pdev)
    {
	    ...
	    u64_stats_init(&tp->rx_stats.syncp);
	    u64_stats_init(&tp->tx_stats.syncp);
	    ...
    }

results in lockdep getting confused between the RX and TX stats lock.
This is because u64_stats_init() is an inline calling seqcount_init(),
which is a macro using a static variable to generate a lockdep class.

By wrapping that in an inline, we negate the effect of the macro and
fold the static key variable, hence the confusion.

Fix by also making u64_stats_init() a macro for the case where it
matters, leaving the other case an inline for argument validation
etc.
