[PATCH] libcamera: matrix: Fix compilation error in inverse() function

Some gcc versions report uninitialized variable usage:

In member function ‘constexpr T& libcamera::Span<T, 4294967295>::operator[](size_type) const [with T = unsigned int]’,
    inlined from ‘void libcamera::matrixInvert(Span<const T>, Span<T, 4294967295>, unsigned int, Span<T, 4294967295>, Span<unsigned int>)::MatrixAccessor::swap(unsigned int, unsigned int) [with T = float]’ at ../../src/libcamera/matrix.cpp:194:13,
    inlined from ‘bool libcamera::matrixInvert(Span<const T>, Span<T, 4294967295>, unsigned int, Span<T, 4294967295>, Span<unsigned int>) [with T = float]’ at ../../src/libcamera/matrix.cpp:255:14:

  362 |         constexpr reference operator[](size_type idx) const { return data()[idx]; }
      |                                                                      ~~~~~~^

      |                              ^~~

This is a false positive. Fix it by initializing the variable when
declaring it.
