#### Description
When the dispatcher module sends ping requests then these requests are executed in a dedicated process, which handles timers and called `slow timer`. If during this ping request AVP variables are allocated, then these vars are allocated within `slow timer` process and this memory is never released and continiously accumulates in/by this process.
This change makes AVP vars being reset for every iteration of the `dispatcher` timer procedure (`ds_check_timer`  function).
