    libctf: work around an uninitialized variable warning
    
    GCC 11+ complains that sym is uninitialized in ctf_symbol_next.  It
    isn't, but it's not quite smart enough to figure that out (it requires
    domain-specific knowledge of the state of the ctf_next_t iterator
    over multiple calls).
    
    libctf/
            * ctf-lookup.c (ctf_symbol_next): Initialize sym to a suitable
            value for returning if never reset during the function.
