Various version of gcc, when compiling with -Og, complain:

  libxl_dm.c: In function 'libxl__domain_get_device_model_uid':
  libxl_dm.c:256:12: error: 'kill_by_uid' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
    256 |         if (kill_by_uid)
        |            ^

The logic is very tangled.  Set kill_by_uid on every path.

No funcational change.
