Initialize 'new_off' and 'pad_bits' to 0 and 'pad_type' to NULL in
btf_dump_emit_bit_padding to prevent compiler warnings/errors which are
observed when compiling with 'EXTRA_CFLAGS=-g -Og' options, but do not
happen when compiling with current default options.
For example, when compiling libbpf with
$ make "EXTRA_CFLAGS=-g -Og" -C tools/lib/bpf/ clean all
Clang version 17.0.6 and GCC 13.3.1 fail to compile btf_dump.c due to
following errors:

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 reStructuredText 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.
