Initialize 'set' and 'set8' pointers to NULL in sets_patch to prevent
possible compiler warnings which are issued for various optimization
levels, but do not happen when compiling with current default
compilation options.
For example, when compiling resolve_btfids with
$ make "HOSTCFLAGS=-O2 -Wall" -C tools/bpf/resolve_btfids/ clean all
Clang version 17.0.6 and GCC 13.3.1 issue following
-Wmaybe-uninitialized warnings for variables 'set8' and 'set':
