Subject: [PATCH] fib_semantics: Fix warning in fib_check_nh_v4_gw

Currently, the err variable in fib_check_nh_v4_gw may be used
uninitialized leading to the warning below:

  fib_semantics.c: In function ‘fib_check_nh_v4_gw’:
  fib_semantics.c:1023:12: warning: ‘err’ may be used
    uninitialised in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
       if (!tbl || err) {
                   ^~

Initialize err to 0 to fix the warning.
