[lvc-project] [PATCH net v2] tg3: prevent use of uninitialized remote_adv and local_adv variables

[Alexey Simakov]

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.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

v2 - remove bogus lines with initialization of variables in function,
since its initialized at definition point now.
