Subject: [PATCH] libbpf: Workaround -Wmaybe-uninitialized false positive
MIME-Version: 1.0

In `elf_close`, we get this with GCC 15 -O3 (at least):
```
In function ‘elf_close’,
inlined from ‘elf_close’ at elf.c:53:6,
inlined from ‘elf_find_func_offset_from_file’ at elf.c:384:2:
elf.c:57:9: warning: ‘elf_fd.elf’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
57 | elf_end(elf_fd->elf);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
elf.c: In function ‘elf_find_func_offset_from_file’:
elf.c:377:23: note: ‘elf_fd.elf’ was declared here
377 | struct elf_fd elf_fd;
| ^~~~~~

```

In reality, our use is fine, it's just that GCC doesn't model errno
here (see linked GCC bug). Suppress -Wmaybe-uninitialized accordingly
by initializing elf_fd.fd to -1 and elf_fd.elf to NULL.

I've done this in two other functions as well given it could easily
occur there too (same access/use pattern).
