hw/virtio/vhost-shadow-virtqueue: Silence GCC error "maybe-uninitialized"

GCC issues a false positive warning, resulting in build failure with -Werror:

  cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

There is actually no problem since "elem" is initialized in both branches.
Silence the warning by initializig it with "NULL".
