Subject: [net-next 08/11] i40e: Remove redundant memset

From: Amitoj Kaur Chawla <amitoj1606@...il.com>

Remove redundant call to memset before a call to memcpy.

The Coccinelle semantic patch used to make this change is as follows:
@@
expression e1,e2,e3,e4;
@@

- memset(e1,e2,e3);
  memcpy(e1,e4,e3);
