[PATCH mptcp-next] selftests: mptcp: Initialize variables to quiet gcc 12 warnings

[PATCH mptcp-next] selftests: mptcp: Initialize variables to quiet gcc 12 warnings

[Mat Martineau]

In a few MPTCP selftest tools, gcc 12 complains that the 'sock' variable
might be used uninitialized. This is a false positive because the only
code path that could lead to uninitialized access is where getaddrinfo()
fails, but the local xgetaddrinfo() wrapper exits if such a failure
occurs.

Initialize the 'sock' variable anyway to allow the tools to build with
gcc 12.

[MPTCP CI]

Hi Mat,

Thank you for your modifications, that's great!

Our CI did some validations and here is its report:

- KVM Validation: normal:
  - Success! ✅:
  - Task: https://cirrus-ci.com/task/6252603284652032
  - Summary: https://api.cirrus-ci.com/v1/artifact/task/6252603284652032/summary/summary.txt

- KVM Validation: debug:
  - Unstable: 2 failed test(s): selftest_diag selftest_mptcp_join 🔴:
  - Task: https://cirrus-ci.com/task/4845228401098752
  - Summary: https://api.cirrus-ci.com/v1/artifact/task/4845228401098752/summary/summary.txt

Commits: https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/commits/623b51ae3220


If there are some issues, you can reproduce them using the same environment as
the one used by the CI thanks to a docker image, e.g.:

    $ cd [kernel source code]
    $ docker run -v "${PWD}:${PWD}:rw" -w "${PWD}" --privileged --rm -it \
        --pull always mptcp/mptcp-upstream-virtme-docker:latest \
        auto-debug

For more details:

    https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp-upstream-virtme-docker


Please note that despite all the efforts that have been already done to have a
stable tests suite when executed on a public CI like here, it is possible some
reported issues are not due to your modifications. Still, do not hesitate to
help us improve that ;-)

Thank you for the patch and the review!

I just applied this patch in our tree (feat. for net-next but maybe it
could go in 'fix for -net' with a 'Fixes' tag, no?) with Paolo's ACK:
