[ Upstream commit decb705e01a5d325c9876b9674043cde4b54f0db ]

'channels.max_combined' initialized only on ioctl success and
errno is only valid on ioctl failure.

The code doesn't produce any runtime issues, but makes memory
sanitizers angry:

Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
at 0x55C056F: xsk_get_max_queues (xsk.c:336)
by 0x55C05B2: xsk_create_bpf_maps (xsk.c:354)
by 0x55C089F: xsk_setup_xdp_prog (xsk.c:447)
by 0x55C0E57: xsk_socket__create (xsk.c:601)
Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation
at 0x55C04CD: xsk_get_max_queues (xsk.c:318)

Additionally fixed warning on uninitialized bytes in ioctl arguments:

Syscall param ioctl(SIOCETHTOOL) points to uninitialised byte(s)
at 0x648D45B: ioctl (in /usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so)

by 0x55C0E57: xsk_socket__create (xsk.c:601)
Address 0x1ffefff378 is on thread 1's stack
in frame #1, created by xsk_get_max_queues (xsk.c:318)
Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation
