collector/netdev_linux.go: Fallback to 32-bit stats (#2757)

On some platforms, `msg.Attributes.Stats64` is `nil` because the kernel doesn't
expose 64-bit stats. In that case, return `msg.Attributes.Stats` instead, which
are the 32-bit equivalent.

Note that `RXOtherhostDropped` isn't available in that case, so we hardcode it
to zero.

Fixes #2756.
