[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] net/bnxt: fix compilation

[Mark Kavanagh]

As of 5ef3b79fdfe6f, compilation of DPDK fails with the following
error message:
"bnxt_filter.c:960:117: error: ‘vnic’ may be used uninitialized in this
function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]".

Resolve this by initializing 'vnic' to NULL;

Fixes: 5ef3b79fdfe6f ("net/bnxt: support flow filter ops")
CC: stable@dpdk.org

Hi Mark,

You don't need to cc stable, since you are fixing code that was sent in this release.
Only fixes for patches sent in previous DPDK versions need to be applied to the stable repo.

Pablo
