I'm still getting a compilation error on this patch...

util/virfdstream.c: In function 'virFDStreamThread':
util/virfdstream.c:551:15: error: 'got' may be used uninitialized in
this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
         total += got;
               ^~

got = 0;

Fixes the compilation issue since got is only set for MSG_TYPE_DATA and
even though there is only that type, the compiler seems to somehow
believe it could be set ambiguously.

Should the fdst ref come eafter the ObjectLock(fdst) below? [1]
