Is struct nd_ifinfo something that is used as argument to ioctl(2)?
If so, then adding counter_u64_t into it is not correct.

I would suggest to not revert the change as a whole, but remove the
counter only and bring struct nd_ifinfo back to original.  The counter
should probably go into struct in6_ifextra that is pointed by
if->if_afdata[AF_INET6].
