Linus,

tracing/scripts: Possible uninitialized variable

The 0day bot discovered a possible uninitialized path in the
scripts that sort the mcount sections at build time. Just needed
to initialize that variable.

    script/sorttable: Fix some initialization problems
    
    elf_mcount_loc and mcount_sort_thread definitions are not
    initialized immediately within the function, which can cause
    the judgment logic to use uninitialized values when the
    initialization logic of subsequent code fails.
