net: loopback driver cleanup

Browse Source 
loopback driver uses dev->ml_priv to store its percpu stats pointer.
It uses ugly casts "(void __percpu __force *)" to shut up sparse
complains.

Define an union to better document we use ml_priv in loopback driver and
define a lstats field with appropriate types.
