Looking at patch 2/2, I disagree with the approach.

RTE_LIBRTE_GRAPH_STATS should control all stats, incl. total_calls and total_objs.
Then, if enabled, the total_cycles stats can be controlled by rte_graph_cycle_stats_enable().

Your v1 series introduces unnecessary overhead for applications not caring about total_calls/total_objs stats and thus built without RTE_LIBRTE_GRAPH_STATS.
