```text
rvu_mcs_set_lmac_bmap() declares lmac_bmap without initializing it and
only sets bits for valid lmacs with set_bit(), which ORs into the word
without clearing it first. Bits for invalid or skipped ports keep
whatever was on the stack, and the garbage is stored into
mcs->hw->lmac_bmap.

Initialize lmac_bmap to 0 so only valid lmacs are marked.

Found with Clang's -Wconditional-uninitialized.
