If so, should I merge netdev_core_stats and netdev_core_stats_inc 
together, as it didn't called by others. Like:

void netdev_core_stats_inc(struct net_device *dev, u32 offset)
{
         /* This READ_ONCE() pairs with the write in 
netdev_core_stats_alloc() */
         struct net_device_core_stats __percpu *p = 
READ_ONCE(dev->core_stats);

         if (unlikely(!p))
                 p = netdev_core_stats_alloc(dev);

         if (p)
                 (*(unsigned long *)((void *)this_cpu_ptr(p) + offset))++;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(netdev_core_stats_inc);
