Subject: [PATCH] Revert netlink ABI change to gnet_stats_basic

In 5e140dfc1fe87eae27846f193086724806b33c7d "net: reorder struct Qdisc
for better SMP performance" the definition of struct gnet_stats_basic
changed incompatibly, and as copies of this struct may be shipped to
userland via netlink. This reverts back to the old ABI.
