Commit 3fec17d4bb56567d139d7806392f4d8702d3f6a7 introduced a bug where an empty cdrom would cause target_path to be uninitialized. Initialize target_path to NULL instead.
The other option here would have been to set target_path to NULL only on the LIBXL_DISK_FORMAT_EMPTY path. That would potentially enable the compiler to catch future uninitialized paths, rather than having those paths (potentially) dereference a NULL pointer. But given that a bunch of our compilers failed to catch *this* uninitialized path, setting it to NULL at declaration seems the safer option for now.
