[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 09/11] net/i40e: clean LTO build warnings (maybe-uninitialized)

During LTO build compiler reports some 'false positive' warnings about
variables being possibly used uninitialized.  This patch silences these
warnings.

Exemplary compiler warning to suppress (with LTO enabled):
error: ‘filter_idx’ may be used uninitialized in this function
[-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  PMD_DRV_LOG(INFO, "Added port %d with AQ command with index %d",
