[PATCH 19.11] efd: fix uninitialized structure

[ upstream commit ecda2c40ac549f2ebd1e8be6bf0a96c4aba6bf36 ]

Coverity flags that both elements of efd_online_group_entry
are used uninitialized. This is OK because this structure
is initially used for starting values, so any value is OK.

Coverity ID: 375868
Fixes: 56b6ef874f80 ("efd: new Elastic Flow Distributor library")
