In "uffd-stress.c" & "uffd-unit-tests.c". address of char variable having garbage value (uninitialized) is passed to 'write' syscall triggers warning.

uffd-stress.c:246:39: warning: variable 'c' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Wuninitialized-const-pointer]

uffd-unit-tests.c:581:31: warning: variable 'c' is uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here [-Wuninitialized-const-pointer]

so the fix is to assign char variable to '\0' to prevent writing of garbage value.
