Hmm... what guarantees that more than one threads race here? llist assumes
that there's a single writer for a given llist_node and the ref count would
be off too, right?
The llist_add() function is atomic. It calls into llist_add_batch() in
lib/llist.c which uses cmpxchg() to make the change. There is a
non-atomic version __llist_add() which may be problematic in this case.
Note that irq is disabled in the u64_stats_update* critical section,
there shouldn't be a racing thread running in the same cpu. Other cpus
will modify their own version of lhead. Perhaps the non-atomic version
can be used here as well.
