Its initialized to false (because its part of device state).

No because use_reliable_get_clock can be false because the destination host
does not support kvm_has_adjust_clock_stable(), but the source host
supports it (so we want to use the value in the first incoming
migration).
So the variable indicates whether the source host supported
migration, not whether the destination supports it.
