dpdk: reset stats just before the start of packet receive loop

While Suricata initializes, the device must be started to e.g.
apply rte_flow rules on some devices. But in the meantime, the
NIC started receiving packets but accounted those as missed.
Stats reset was added to better represent true packet drop.
