veth: avoid a NULL deref in veth_stats_one
commit 2681128f0ced8a (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.

So we must check if peer was setup in veth_get_stats64()
As pointed out by Ben Hutchings, priv->peer is missing proper
synchronization. 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.
