[PATCH] libbpf: workaround (another) -Wmaybe-uninitialized false positive

From: Sam James

We get this with GCC 15 -O3 (at least):
```
libbpf.c: In function ‘bpf_map__init_kern_struct_ops’:
libbpf.c:1109:18: error: ‘mod_btf’ may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
1109 | kern_btf = mod_btf ? mod_btf->btf : obj->btf_vmlinux;
| ~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
libbpf.c:1094:28: note: ‘mod_btf’ was declared here
1094 | struct module_btf *mod_btf;
| ^~~~~~~
In function ‘find_struct_ops_kern_types’,
inlined from ‘bpf_map__init_kern_struct_ops’ at libbpf.c:1102:8:
libbpf.c:982:21: error: ‘btf’ may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
982 | kern_type = btf__type_by_id(btf, kern_type_id);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
libbpf.c: In function ‘bpf_map__init_kern_struct_ops’:
libbpf.c:967:21: note: ‘btf’ was declared here
967 | struct btf *btf;
| ^~~
```

This is similar to the other libbpf fix from a few weeks ago for
the same modelling-errno issue (fab45b962749184e1a1a57c7c583782b78fad539).
