perf jit: Avoid returning garbage for a ret variable

When the loop body isn't executed at all, then the 'ret' local variable,
that is uninitialized will be used as the return value.

This triggers this error on Alpine Linux:

But this so far got under the radar, not causing any build problem, till the
"perf jit: enable jitdump support without dwarf" gets applied, when the above
problem takes place, some combination of inlining or whatever, the problem
is real, so fix it by initializing the variable to zero.
