Subject: [PATCH] netdev: re-expose net_device_stats to user headers

This commit broke iproute2 build:

commit be1f3c2c027cc5ad735df6a45a542ed1db7ec48b
Author: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@...arflare.com>
Date:   Tue Jun 8 07:19:54 2010 +0000

    net: Enable 64-bit net device statistics on 32-bit architectures
    
    Use struct rtnl_link_stats64 as the statistics structure.

Iproute2 uses a the kernel exported headers, and the structure
net_device_stats which is part of the netlink IFLA_STATS message
was no longer exposed.
