Sam James fab45b9627 libbpf: Workaround -Wmaybe-uninitialized false positive
In `elf_close`, we get this with GCC 15 -O3 (at least):
```
In function ‘elf_close’,
    inlined from ‘elf_close’ at elf.c:53:6,
    inlined from ‘elf_find_func_offset_from_file’ at elf.c:384:2:
elf.c:57:9: warning: ‘elf_fd.elf’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
   57 |         elf_end(elf_fd->elf);
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
elf.c: In function ‘elf_find_func_offset_from_file’:
elf.c:377:23: note: ‘elf_fd.elf’ was declared here
  377 |         struct elf_fd elf_fd;
      |                       ^~~~~~
In function ‘elf_close’,
    inlined from ‘elf_close’ at elf.c:53:6,
    inlined from ‘elf_find_func_offset_from_file’ at elf.c:384:2:
elf.c:58:9: warning: ‘elf_fd.fd’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
   58 |         close(elf_fd->fd);
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
elf.c: In function ‘elf_find_func_offset_from_file’:
elf.c:377:23: note: ‘elf_fd.fd’ was declared here
  377 |         struct elf_fd elf_fd;
      |                       ^~~~~~
```

In reality, our use is fine, it's just that GCC doesn't model errno
here (see linked GCC bug). Suppress -Wmaybe-uninitialized accordingly
by initializing elf_fd.fd to -1 and elf_fd.elf to NULL.

I've done this in two other functions as well given it could easily
occur there too (same access/use pattern).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
