Eric Dumazet c1a8f1f1c8 net: restore gnet_stats_basic to previous definition
In 5e140dfc1fe87eae27846f193086724806b33c7d "net: reorder struct Qdisc
for better SMP performance" the definition of struct gnet_stats_basic
changed incompatibly, as copies of this struct are shipped to
userland via netlink.

Restoring old behavior is not welcome, for performance reason.

Fix is to use a private structure for kernel, and
teach gnet_stats_copy_basic() to convert from kernel to user land,
using legacy structure (struct gnet_stats_basic)

Based on a report and initial patch from Michael Spang.
