[PATCH 6.6 043/105] tg3: prevent use of uninitialized remote_adv and local_adv variables

[ Upstream commit 0c3f2e62815a43628e748b1e4ad97a1c46cce703 ]

Some execution paths that jump to the fiber_setup_done label
could leave the remote_adv and local_adv variables uninitialized
and then use it.

Initialize this variables at the point of definition to avoid this.

Fixes: 85730a631f0c ("tg3: Add SGMII phy support for 5719/5718 serdes")
