commit 2681128f (veth: extend device features) added a NULL deref in veth_stats_one(), as veth_get_stats64() was not testing if the peer device was setup or not. At init time, we call dev_get_stats() before veth pair is fully setup.

Adding RCU protection is a safe and well documented way to make sure we don't access about to be freed or already freed data.
