[PATCH v2] script/sorttable: fix some initialization problems

From: Yinan Liu
Date: Tue Jan 18 2022 - 01:52:47 EST


elf_mcount_loc and mcount_sort_thread definitions are not
initialized immediately within the function, which can cause
the judgment logic to use uninitialized values when the
initialization logic of subsequent code fails.
