Fixed error when compiling migration/qemu-file.c with -Werror=maybe-uninitialized
as shown here:

../migration/qemu-file.c: In function 'qemu_get_buffer_in_place':
../migration/qemu-file.c:604:18: error: 'src' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  604 |             *buf = src;
      |             ~~~~~^~~~~

Yes, I think I had a discussion with someone about this recently but
can't find it; the compiler is technically correct, but the only time
it's unitialised is the case where it's result doesn't matter.

Still, to shut the compiler up:

Maybe with Thomas, he reported that 2 years ago when building with -O3:

I saw that error when compiling QEMU with -O3 as well.
