    perf tools: Fix errors under optimization level '-Og'

    Optimization level '-Og' offers a reasonable level of optimization while
    maintaining fast compilation and a good debugging experience. This patch
    tries to make it work.

      $ make DEBUG=1 EXTRA_CFLAGS='-Og'
      bench/epoll-ctl.c: In function ‘do_threads’:
      bench/epoll-ctl.c:274:9: error: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
        return ret;
               ^~~
