NAME
       gnet_stats_start_copy_compat - start dumping procedure in compatibility mode

SYNOPSIS
       int gnet_stats_start_copy_compat(struct sk_buff * skb, int type, int tc_stats_type,
                                        int xstats_type, spinlock_t * lock, struct gnet_dump * d,
                                        int padattr);

ARGUMENTS
       skb
           socket buffer to put statistics TLVs into

       type
           TLV type for top level statistic TLV

       tc_stats_type
           TLV type for backward compatibility struct tc_stats TLV

       xstats_type
           TLV type for backward compatibility xstats TLV

       lock
           statistics lock

       d
           dumping handle

       padattr
           padding attribute

DESCRIPTION
       Initializes the dumping handle, grabs the statistic lock and appends an empty TLV header
       to the socket buffer for use a container for all other statistic TLVS.

       The dumping handle is marked to be in backward compatibility mode telling all
       gnet_stats_copy_XXX functions to fill a local copy of struct tc_stats.

       Returns 0 on success or -1 if the room in the socket buffer was not sufficient.
