netfilter: nft_counter: rework atomic dump and reset

Dump and reset doesn't work unless cmpxchg64() is used both from packet
and control plane paths. This approach is going to be slow though.
Instead, use a percpu seqcount to fetch counters consistently, then
subtract bytes and packets in case a reset was requested.

The cpu that running over the reset code is guaranteed to own this stats
exclusively, we have to turn counters into signed 64bit though so stats
update on reset don't get wrong on underflow.

This patch is based on original sketch from Eric Dumazet.
