Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] resolve_btfids: Fix compiler warnings

Initialize 'set' and 'set8' pointers to NULL in sets_patch to prevent
possible compiler warnings which are issued for various optimization
levels, but do not happen when compiling with current default
compilation options.

For example, when compiling resolve_btfids with

  $ make "HOSTCFLAGS=-O2 -Wall" -C tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/ clean all

Clang version 17.0.6 and GCC 13.3.1 issue following
-Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings for variables 'set8' and 'set':

  In function ‘sets_patch’,
      inlined from ‘symbols_patch’ at main.c:748:6,
      inlined from ‘main’ at main.c:823:6:
  main.c:163:9: warning: ‘set8’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
