Subject: [PATCH 1/2] bpf: sockmap, fix uninitialized variable

There is a potential execution path in which variable err is
returned without being properly initialized previously.

Fix this by initializing variable err to 0.

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1468964 ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
Fixes: e5cd3abcb31a ("bpf: sockmap, refactor sockmap routines to work
with hashmap")
