This patch does multiple things, although each not very complex, I think
splitting the patch makes it simpler to review.

Why 'READ_ONCE' is required?
As it is a function that provides pointer as parameter, won't stat
values will be read from memory anyway?

As I commented before, we can't just drop this.
Please check code in the function that has comment:
"/* stats.errs will be incremented */"
That code relies on this update, if we remove here something should
replace it.
