Thomas Richter b611da43b6 perf build: Build error in libbpf missing initialization
In linux-next tree compiling the perf tool with additional make flags
EXTRA_CFLAGS="-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2" causes a compiler error.
It is the warning 'variable may be used uninitialized' which is treated
as error: I compile it using a FEDORA 28 installation, my gcc compiler
version: gcc (GCC) 8.0.1 20180324 (Red Hat 8.0.1-0.20). The file that
causes the error is tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c.

  [root@p23lp27] # make V=1 EXTRA_CFLAGS="-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2"
