  When kni driver calls eth_kni_start to start device, some fields such as
min_mtu and max_mtu of rte_kni_conf are not initialized. It will cause
kni_ioctl_create create a kni netdevice with a random min_mtu and max_mtu
value. This is unexpected and in some time we could not change the kni
device mtu with ip link command.

Fixes: ff1e35fb5f8 ("kni: calculate MTU from mbuf size")

Can you prefer initialize to zero, instead of 'memset', I think it
is more clear that way:

  -       struct rte_kni_conf conf;
  +       struct rte_kni_conf conf = { 0 };

Thanks. Sounds good,  fix it.
