[SRU][N][PATCH v2 2/2] UBUNTU: SAUCE: fan: fix racy device stat update

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2064176

Let's use a proper API to increase netdevice's tx_dropped statistics.
Since upstream commit 6dee402daba4eb ("vxlan: Fix racy device stats updates.")
we have to use dev_core_stats_tx_dropped_inc() function for that.

This one was found while I was debugging an original issues from LP bug #2064176
and was reviewing a whole Ubuntu FAN implementation.
