ERROR - XStats ID Reset test FAILED.
SW Eventdev Selftest Failed.
Test Failed
The flow ID is not set in the event, which results in an undefined
flow, whose value depends on what was previously in stack. Having
different flows for the packets makes the test to fail, since only one
flow is expected.
This only happens in -O3, where the same stack area is shared by the
event object and the address of the mbuf allocated in rte_gen_arp().
Fix this by properly initializing the flow id.
