On 64bit arches, struct u64_stats_sync is empty and provides no help against load/store tearing. Using READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() would be needed. But the update side would be slightly more expensive. local64_t was defined so that we could use regular adds in a manner which is atomic wrt IRQs. However the u64_stats infra means we do not have to use local64_t on 32bit arches since the syncp provides the needed protection.
