This patch fixes an issue where a read failure of a port statistic counter
will return unknown results.  While it is highly unlikely the read will
ever fail, it is much cleaner to return a zero for the stat count.

Fixes: a1292595e006 ("net: dsa: add new DSA switch driver for the SMSC-LAN9303")

v1->v2:
  corrected email header: net vs net-next, Added 1 maintainer, removed
  blank line.
  No changes to the body of the patch.

Actually it's not "net vs net-next", but rather, "nothing vs net-next".
As you can see, the patchwork CI complains that "Target tree name [is]
not specified in the subject".

Anyway, I think it's quite obvious for maintainers that it's a patch
intended for the net.git tree, so there isn't a reason to resend this
patch, just something to know and to do better in the future.
