[PATCH iproute2] ss: fix NULL dereference when rendering without header

[Jean-Philippe Brucker <jphilippe.brucker@gmail.com>]

When ss is invoked with the no-header flag, if the query doesn't return
any result, render() is called with 'buffer' uninitialized. This
currently leads to a segfault. Ensure that buffer is initialized before
rendering.

The bug can be triggered with: ss -H sport = 100000
