From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 08f6c2b09ebd4b326dbe96d13f94fee8f9814c78 upstream. In case of errors in xenbus_init (e.g. missing xen_store_gfn parameter), we goto out_error but we forget to reset xen_store_domain_type to XS_UNKNOWN. As a consequence xenbus_probe_initcall and other initcalls will still try to initialize xenstore resulting into a crash at boot.
