Replace the previous `unsafe { core::mem::zeroed() }` initialization
for `bindings::auxillary_device_id` with `pin_init::zeroed()`. This removes
the explicit unsafe block and uses the safer pinned zero-initialization
helper.

I'd still keep this `TODO`, a `Default` implementation is more adequate
that `Zeroable` here even if they end up doing the same.
Nitpicky: there are two spaces in `for device` in the patch subject.

... or maybe not, after all if a type implements `Zeroable` this means
that all zeroes is a valid initial value for it. Let's see what others
think about this.
