Log Message:
Fix an unitialized memory read bug in ps(1)

rawcpu of type int, is declared inside main(){} and it can be passed as
uninitialized to setpinfo().
The setpinfo() function has a switch checking the value of rawcpu:

  if (!rawcpu)
    pi[i].pcpu /= 1.0 - exp(ki[i].p_swtime * log_ccpu);

rawcpu is set to 1 with the command line argument "-C".

   -C           Change the way the CPU percentage is calculated by using a
                "raw" CPU calculation that ignores "resident" time (this
                normally has no effect).

Bug reproducible with an invocation: "ps u". It hides with "ps uC".

Initialize rawcpu by default to 0, before the getopt(3) machinery.

Detected with MSan running on NetBSD/amd64.
