Recently, from commit 94a1fedd63ed ("libbpf: Add btf__parse_raw() and
generic btf__parse() APIs"), new API has been added to libbpf that
allows to parse BTF from raw data file (btf__parse_raw()).
The commit derives build failure of samples/bpf due to improper access
of uninitialized pointer at btf_parse_raw().
btf.c: In function btf__parse_raw:
btf.c:625:28: error: btf may be used uninitialized in this function
625 | return err ? ERR_PTR(err) : btf;
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~
This commit fixes the build failure of samples/bpf by adding code of
initializing btf pointer as NULL.
Fixes: 94a1fedd63ed ("libbpf: Add btf__parse_raw() and generic btf__parse()
APIs")
