Accessing the sw stats in the vhost datapath of a PVP test
can incur a performance drop of ~2%.

Most of the time these stats will just be getting zero added
to them. By checking if there is a non-zero update first, we
can avoid accessing them when they won't be updated and avoid
the performance drop.

Fixes: 2f862c712e52 ("netdev-dpdk: Detailed packet drop statistics.")

We actually have similar checks for physical ports, so it's sane
to have them for vhost too.

Thanks Kevin and Eelco! Applied to master.

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
