Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] samples/bpf: silence compiler warning for xdpsock_user.c

Compiling xdpsock_user.c with 4.8.5, I hit the following
compilation warning:
    HOSTCC  samples/bpf/xdpsock_user.o
  /data/users/yhs/work/net-next/samples/bpf/xdpsock_user.c: In function ‘main’:
  /data/users/yhs/work/net-next/samples/bpf/xdpsock_user.c:449:6: warning: ‘idx_cq’ may be used unini
  tialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
    u32 idx_cq, idx_fq;
        ^
  /data/users/yhs/work/net-next/samples/bpf/xdpsock_user.c:606:7: warning: ‘idx_rx’ may be used unini
  tialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
     u32 idx_rx, idx_tx = 0;
         ^
  /data/users/yhs/work/net-next/samples/bpf/xdpsock_user.c:506:6: warning: ‘idx_rx’ may be used unini
  tialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
    u32 idx_rx, idx_fq = 0;

As an example, the code pattern looks like:
    u32 idx_cq;
    ...
    ret = xsk_ring_prod__reserve(&xsk->umem->fq, rcvd, &idx_fq);
    if (ret) {
      ...
    }
    ... idx_fq ...
The compiler warns since it does not know whether &idx_fq is assigned
or not inside the library function xsk_ring_prod__reserve().

Let us assign an initial value 0 to such auto variables to silence
compiler warning.

Fixes: 248c7f9c0e21 ("samples/bpf: convert xdpsock to use libbpf for AF_XDP access")
