Eder Zulian 5f494f4823 libbpf: Prevent compiler warnings/errors
commit 7f4ec77f3f upstream.

Initialize 'new_off' and 'pad_bits' to 0 and 'pad_type' to  NULL in
btf_dump_emit_bit_padding to prevent compiler warnings/errors which are
observed when compiling with 'EXTRA_CFLAGS=-g -Og' options, but do not
happen when compiling with current default options.

For example, when compiling libbpf with

  $ make "EXTRA_CFLAGS=-g -Og" -C tools/lib/bpf/ clean all

Clang version 17.0.6 and GCC 13.3.1 fail to compile btf_dump.c due to
following errors:

  btf_dump.c: In function ‘btf_dump_emit_bit_padding’:
  btf_dump.c:903:42: error: ‘new_off’ may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
