vhost: avoid a potential use of an uninitialized variable in vhost_svq_poll()

Browse source 
In vhost_svq_poll(), if vhost_svq_get_buf() fails due to a device
providing invalid descriptors, len is left uninitialized and returned
to the caller, potentally leaking stack data or causing undefined
behavior.

Fix this by initializing len to 0.

Found with GCC 13 and -fanalyzer (abridged):

../hw/virtio/vhost-shadow-virtqueue.c: In function ‘vhost_svq_poll’:

Note by  Laurent Vivier <lvivier@redhat.com>:

    The return value is only used to detect an error:

    vhost_svq_poll
        vhost_vdpa_net_cvq_add
            vhost_vdpa_net_load_cmd
                vhost_vdpa_net_load_mac
                  -> a negative return is only used to detect error
                vhost_vdpa_net_load_mq
                  -> a negative return is only used to detect error
            vhost_vdpa_net_handle_ctrl_avail
              -> a negative return is only used to detect error
