Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2] bpf: silence uninitialized var warning in bpf_skb_net_grow

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@...gle.com>

These three variables are set in one branch and used in another with
the same condition. But on some architectures they still generate
compiler warnings of the kind:

  warning: 'inner_trans' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

Silence these false positives. Use the straightforward approach to
always initialize them, if a bit superfluous.

Fixes: 868d523535c2 ("bpf: add bpf_skb_adjust_room encap flags")
