selftests/bpf: Fix bogus uninitialized variable warning

When compiling selftests/bpf in optimized mode (-O2), GCC erroneously
complains about uninitialized token variable:

This is completely bogus becuase libbpf_get_error() doesn't dereference
pointer, but the only easy way to silence this is to allocate initialized
memory with calloc().
