What is the problem here. That loop only happens during initialization.

The memset() is redundant and not needed but that is a different reason
to remove it. In current code the port_statistics will start out at all zeros.

If you want, the right fix is to pull the memset entirely.
While your at it look for the same pattern in other variants of l2fwd and l3fwd.
There is a lot of copy/paste here.
