Anders Grahn 4f899976ee netfilter: nft_counter: fix reset of counters on 32bit archs
[ Upstream commit 1e13f27e06 ]

nft_counter_reset() calls u64_stats_add() with a negative value to reset
the counter. This will work on 64bit archs, hence the negative value
added will wrap as a 64bit value which then can wrap the stat counter as
well.

On 32bit archs, the added negative value will wrap as a 32bit value and
_not_ wrapping the stat counter properly. In most cases, this would just
lead to a very large 32bit value being added to the stat counter.

Fix by introducing u64_stats_sub().
