[PATCH 3/3] defxx: fix build warning

[Sudip Mukherjee]

We are getting many build warning about:
'bar_start' may be used uninitialized
and
'bar_len' may be used uninitialized

They are not actually uninitialized as dfx_get_bars() will initialize
them properly. But still lets have them initialized just to satisfy the
compiler.

 Which compiler/version is that?

 Just setting the first element will do, the rest will then be implicitly 
zeroed, following the semantics of initialisers in C.  So just do:

	resource_size_t bar_start[3] = {0};	/* pointers to ports */
	resource_size_t bar_len[3] = {0};	/* resource length */

for brevity and to save formatting.

 Likewise here.  Please resend with the update requested and I'll ack it.

 Thanks for your submission!
