When compiling selftests/bpf in optimized mode (-O2), GCC erroneously
complains about uninitialized token variable:
In file included from network_helpers.c:22:
network_helpers.c: In function ‘open_netns’:
test_progs.h:355:22: error: ‘token’ may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
355 | int ___err = libbpf_get_error(___res); \
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
network_helpers.c:440:14: note: in expansion of macro ‘ASSERT_OK_PTR’
440 | if (!ASSERT_OK_PTR(token, "malloc token"))
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

This is completely bogus becuase libbpf_get_error() doesn't dereference
pointer, but the only easy way to silence this is to allocate initialized
memory with calloc().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
