After the WITH_QEMU_LOCK_GUARD macro is added, the compiler cannot identify
 that the statements in the macro must be executed. As a result, some variables
 assignment statements in the macro may be considered as unexecuted by the compiler.

The compiler showed warning:
plugins/loader.c: In function ‘plugin_reset_uninstall’:
plugins/loader.c:382:15: warning: ‘ctx’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
 382 |     data->ctx = ctx;
     |     ~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~

Add a default value for 'expire_time' to prevented the warning.

This shouldn't happen as the function returns before
(else there is a NULL deref).

Yes, in fact, it shouldn't have happened when the program was running.
But after added 'WITH_QEMU_LOCK_GUARD', let the compiler think it might happen.
So, we add a default value, make the compiler happy.
