From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xilinx.com>

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.
