Subject: machine: fix crash on update from older than v258
X-Git-Tag: v259-rc1~480
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=43cea09f95e5a051432e040c823e945b8b327ed4;p=thirdparty%2Fsystemd.git

machine: fix crash on update from older than v258

UID entry in the machine state file is introduced in v258,
hence when a host is upgraded to v258, the field does not exist in the
file, thus the variable 'uid' is NULL.

Follow-up for 276d20018623ef14956ce87975be48da5de63f29.
Fixes #39061.
