[PATCH 1/2] lib/graph: avoid memset(NULL, 0, 0)

This was flagged by undefined behaviour sanitizer: memset should not be
called with NULL first argument. (memset requires first argument to be
pointer to a memory object, so passing NULL may result in an undefined
behaviour including among other things optimizer potentially removing
code paths depending on stat->xstat_count being NULL.)

Sanitizer message:

    lib/graph/graph_stats.c:473:2: runtime error: null pointer passed as
    argument 1, which is declared to never be null

To fix the issue add a check that stat->xstat_count is not NULL before
the call.
