Fix for an illegal free in the gelf output plugin when it handled a message lacking the short_message key.
In cb_gelf_flush: if the input doesn't contain the short_message key flb_msgpack_to_gelf will fail and return NULL. The variable s is not initialized, but still flb_sds_destroy(s) is called which may unexpectedly free some arbitrary pointer.
Fixed by initializing s.

Fixes #10086
