In no-shconf mode the rte_mp_request_sync() wasn't initializing
the `reply` parameter, which contained e.g. a number of sent
requests. Callers of rte_mp_request_sync() might check that
param afterwards and might read potentially unitialized memory.
The no-shconf check that makes us return early (with rc = 0) was
placed before the `reply` initialization. Fix this by making the
`reply` initialization occur first.
