This instrumentation accuracy may not be that important in testpmd
(becauase testpmd is just a test/validation tool).

However, resetting total_cycles is setting a bad example for people
who may look at this code.
It does not comply with the EAL api.
The associated lcores may still be running the moment a user reset the
fwd stats.

By using a single tsc reference at the start of this function,
total_cycles will be reset every time forwarding is stopped /
restarted.
A more accurate way to account for consumed cycles for this lcore
would be to increase by a differential value for each loop.

        } while (! fc->stopped);
 }



I also have one interrogation around those updates.
I wonder if we are missing some __atomic_store/load pairs (probably
more an issue for non-x86 arches), since the updates and reading those
cycles happen on different threads.
This issue predates your patch (for fs->core_cycles accesses previously).
I am not asking for a fix right away, this last point can wait post -rc1.
