Subject: [PATCH] tools/perf: Do not set a variable unless it will be used

clang-13 triggers the following warning:

bench/inject-buildid.c:351:6: error: variable 'len' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-variable]
        u64 len = 0;

This patch sets the value to len only if it will be used afterwards.
