Gcc-16 detects use of uninitialized variable.
./drivers/net/mlx5/linux/mlx5_ethdev_os.c: In function ‘mlx5_link_update’:
../drivers/net/mlx5/linux/mlx5_ethdev_os.c:539:15: warning: ‘*(long unsigned
int *)((char *)&dev_link + offsetof(struct rte_eth_link, <U38c0>))’ may be used
uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
539 | ret = !!memcmp(&dev->data->dev_link, &dev_link,
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
540 | sizeof(struct rte_eth_link));
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../drivers/net/mlx5/linux/mlx5_ethdev_os.c:515:29: note: ‘*(long unsigned int
*)((char *)&dev_link + offsetof(struct rte_eth_link, <U38c0>))’ was declared
here
515 | struct rte_eth_link dev_link;

If the retry loop exits the code would do memcmp against unintialized
stack value. Resolve by intializing to zero.
