Subject: [PATCH] vhost-net: initialize zcopy packet counters

These packet counters are used to drive the zercopy
selection heuristic so nothing too bad happens if they are off a bit -
and they are also reset once in a while.
But it's cleaner to clear them when backend is set so that
we start in a known state.
