From: Bernd Kuhls <bernd.kuhls@t-online.de>

The variable domctl.u.address_size.size may remain uninitialized if
guest_type is not one of xen-3.0-aarch64 or xen-3.0-armv7l. And the
code precisely checks if this variable is still 0 to decide if the
guest type is supported or not.

This fixes the following build failure with gcc 7.x:

xc_dom_arm.c:229:31: error: 'domctl.u.address_size.size' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
     if ( domctl.u.address_size.size == 0 )
