[PATCH] vhost-net: initialize zcopy packet counters

From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>
Date: 2012-12-03 17:29:06

These packet counters are used to drive the zercopy
selection heuristic so nothing too bad happens if they are off a bit -
and they are also reset once in a while.
But it's cleaner to clear them when backend is set so that
we start in a known state.
