libbpf: fix using uninitialized ioctl results
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
'channels.max_combined' initialized only on ioctl success and
errno is only valid on ioctl failure.

The code doesn't produce any runtime issues, but makes memory
sanitizers angry:

 Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)

    by 0x55C05B2: xsk_create_bpf_maps (xsk.c:354)

    by 0x55C0E57: xsk_socket__create (xsk.c:601)
  Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation
    at 0x55C04CD: xsk_get_max_queues (xsk.c:318)

Additionally fixed warning on uninitialized bytes in ioctl arguments:

 Syscall param ioctl(SIOCETHTOOL) points to uninitialised byte(s)
