  Not all struct fields will be written and random data could
confuse readers.

Fixes: 92aa491b881e ("nfp: add statistics")
Coverity: 140755

Hi Alejandro,

Thank you for coverity fixes, but they will be considered for next release,
since trying to limit rc4 only for critical fixes.

Thanks,
ferruh

This looks like a bug fix. because the stats are on the stack and will
be garbage.

Yes it is, also other nfp patches are fixes.

This is for an effort to close the release, eventually it needs to stop
somewhere, and technically after rc3 is only for critical bug fixes, so this is
the time for stop getting these kind of patches.

After above said, relying on scope of the patches are PMD only and patches are
sent by driver maintainers, I will get them, reminding Thomas' right to drop
them back if he disagrees.
