[ovs-dev] [PATCH v5 3/7] dpif-netdev: Make datapath and flow stats atomic.

A read operation from a non atomic shared value (without external
locking) can return incorrect values. Using the atomic semantics
prevents this from happening.
However:
* No memory barriers are used. We don't need that kind of consistency
for statistics (we use relaxed operations).
* The updates are not atomic, just the loads and stores. This is ok
because there's a single writer.
