Gcc 8.3.0 (Debian 10) complains about uninitialized variable.

[474/2122] Compiling C object 'drivers/a715181@@tmp_rte_common_mlx5 at sta/common_mlx5_mlx5_nl.c.o'.
In file included from ../drivers/common/mlx5/mlx5_nl.h:12,
                 from ../drivers/common/mlx5/mlx5_nl.c:23:
../drivers/common/mlx5/mlx5_nl.c: In function ‘mlx5_nl_enable_roce_get’:
../drivers/common/mlx5/mlx5_common.h:68:2: warning: ‘cur_en’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
  rte_log(RTE_LOG_ ## level, \
  ^~~~~~~
../drivers/common/mlx5/mlx5_nl.c:1560:6: note: ‘cur_en’ was declared here
  int cur_en;
      ^~~~~~

The compiler is correct, this variable would only be set if kernel
netlink response message contains the DEVLINK parameter that flags if
ROCE is enabled.

Fixes: fa69eaef5f49 ("common/mlx5: support ROCE disable through Netlink")
