util/cbfstool: Initialize elf_writer pointer to avoid crash
If some error happens in cbfs_payload_make_elf, the code jumps to "out", and elf_writer_destroy(ew) is called. This may happen before an elf writer is allocated. To avoid accessing an uninitialized pointer, initialize ew to NULL; elf_writer_destroy will perform no action in this case.
