[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 13/14] net/ice/base: fix uninitialized struct

[Qi Zhang <qi.z.zhang@intel.com>]

One of the structs being used for ACL counter rules was allocated on
the stack and left uninitialized.  Rather than depending on
undefined behavior around the .amount member during rule removal,
just leave a comment and initialize the struct to zero, as this is a
slow path call anyway. This bug could have caused silent failures
during counter removal.
