Restrict TrafficStats due to privacy concerns. Granular per-UID network statistics can be used to infer user behavior over time, so they fall under the umbrella of the PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS permission. Since we can't check app-ops based permissions in the kernel, the best we can do is redirect users to the NetworkStatsManager class, which offers a much more robust historical data set.
