[COMMITTED] readelf: Fix crash on reading loc data or range data with bad/no CUs.

In print_debug_ranges_section and print_debug_loc_section we try to
get the associated CU through skip_listptr_hole for the first data data.
If no CU at all can be found (because the .debug_info section was bogus)
this would keep the Dwarf_CU uninitialized causing a crash later on
when it was compared to the last_cu and used because it was unequal.
Fix this by explicitly initializing cu to last_cu (which is NULL on
first use).
