Add patch to fix failure to build package/devel/perf when
CONFIG_TARGET_OPTIMIZATION has -O3 enabled with this error:

+Subject: [PATCH] libbpf: Workaround -Wmaybe-uninitialized false positive
+MIME-Version: 1.0

+In `elf_close`, we get this with GCC 15 -O3 (at least):
+```
+In function ‘elf_close’,
+    inlined from ‘elf_close’ at elf.c:53:6,
+    inlined from ‘elf_find_func_offset_from_file’ at elf.c:384:2:
+elf.c:57:9: warning: ‘elf_fd.elf’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
+   57 |         elf_end(elf_fd->elf);
+      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+elf.c: In function ‘elf_find_func_offset_from_file’:
+elf.c:377:23: note: ‘elf_fd.elf’ was declared here

+    inlined from ‘elf_close’ at elf.c:53:6,

+elf.c:58:9: warning: ‘elf_fd.fd’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
+   58 |         close(elf_fd->fd);

+      |                       ^~~~~~
+```
+
+In reality, our use is fine, it's just that GCC doesn't model errno
+here (see linked GCC bug). Suppress -Wmaybe-uninitialized accordingly
+by initializing elf_fd.fd to -1 and elf_fd.elf to NULL.
+
+I've done this in two other functions as well given it could easily
+occur there too (same access/use pattern).
