From: Mat Martineau <mathew.j.martineau@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit fd37c2ecb21f7aee04ccca5f561469f07d00063c upstream. In a few MPTCP selftest tools, gcc 12 complains that the 'sock' variable might be used uninitialized. This is a false positive because the only code path that could lead to uninitialized access is where getaddrinfo() fails, but the local xgetaddrinfo() wrapper exits if such a failure occurs. Initialize the 'sock' variable anyway to allow the tools to build with gcc 12.
