We ought to change that...

io,stat should prime the fields it uses by itself

either

by using proto_tree_prime_hfid(), that is: mark those fields as
interesting intead of asking the user to give dfilter_compile() a
filter to have them primed

or

easier (and dirtier) by simply appending "|| (!frame && df1 && df2 &&
df3 ...)" to the fiter being given.
